In hopeful anticipation of the Governor's guidance for schools becoming advisory instead of mandatory and liability insurance updates passing during the short legislative session, the District worked with Umatilla County Health last week on opening plans.
Now that the legislature has passed liability protections for schools and the Governor has revised her guidance to advisory, we are approved to begin Limited In Person Instruction January 19th for those who already registered. Soon after, we expect to expand LIPI to additional students and/or transition into our Hybrid learning plan. All plans will follow the Ready Schools, Safe Learners requirements.
We are excited to welcome students back to school soon! Parents who registered for LIPI will receive updated guidance the week of January 4th with more specific information.
Be Ready Vikings!
¡Estén Listos, Vikingos!
Today would have been the Opener for the Columbia River Clash. In honor the event, the coaches made this honorary opening. Keep your grades up, Vikings, we'll be playing again as soon as possible! #UmatillaStrong https://youtu.be/Ej-LhdFe4WM

The Oregon Teacher Pathway program is a great way for Umatilla students to explore teaching as a career. We’re proud of alumnus, Ms. Mendoza, for her work as an educator today, and an OTP student not so long ago. Great work, Viking! https://www.eou.edu/mountaineer-magazine/speaking-her-language/

Students, do you ever wonder how much we miss you? Well, Mr. Gebers still does bus duty, just in case you happen to pull in. Yes, we all miss you THIS much. Only Gebers wears flip-flops with socks though. Stay safe, Vikings, we love you!
