DISTRICT INFORMATION                               

  • Calendar Changes: Last Tuesday, the school board approved the following calendar changes:
    • Dec. 6 – No school for elementary students, work day for elementary staff (This is also a grading day for middle and high school.)
    • Dec. 7 – School is in session for elementary, no school for middle/high school (work day for middle/high school staff)
    • Jan. 21 – No school for students. This is now elementary school’s grading day.
    • Jan. 28 – This was grading day. It’s now a teacher work day to prep for any transitions related to online school.
    • April 15 – The PD/Planning day for March 18 is now a teacher work day. April 15 will be a PD/Planning day for staff instead.
            
  • ODE and OHA Updates: Oregon Health Authority has removed the mandate that requires mask in crowded outdoor spaces. ODE has said it will be up to local districts to determine if they will still require students, staff, and visitors to wear masks outdoors. For now we are maintaining status quo until we hear otherwise. Additionally, ODE is implementing a new “Test to Stay” protocol. This means students exposed to Covid at school (this does not apply to students exposed at home, sports, etc) have the option to agree to rapid testing and stay in school. They would test on the day we learn about their exposure and then again a few days later. If they remain negative, they can stay at school. You can learn more here. I don’t have any district level updates about these two issues, so we will continue on as usual for now.
