Families, this is a friendly reminder to contact the office before 2:30 pm Monday through Thursday or before 11:15 am on Friday if you need to leave a message for your student. If your student’s end-of-day plans change, such as being picked up instead of walking or needing to ride the bus, calling early helps ensure we can deliver the message in time. Thank you!

We appreciate the parents and staff who alerted us to a concerning Facebook post this morning. We have reported the concern to the Umatilla Police Department. Please support modeling appropriate social media usage for students. When safety concerns exist, https://www.safeoregon.com/ is a way to report things immediately (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) to both police and school staff at the same time. Reports can even be anonymous. Sharing unconfirmed allegations is potentially cyberbullying. Reporting concerns through appropriate channels helps protect student safety.
