We have confirmed with the Oregon Department of Education that the Governor's announcement today does not impact schools. We will continue with our current operations, and continue to work toward LIPI and hybrid options as the metrics allow. If you missed the Governor's announcement, you may view it here: https://www.oregonlive.com/coronavirus/2020/11/watch-gov-kate-brown-announce-a-two-week-pause-to-slow-coronavirus-spread.html
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!

We are so thankful for this amazing track! We know it’s been hard on the entire community to stay away from our Athletic Complex during repairs. We need you to avoid it for three more days please to allow the finish to fully set. Monday, it’s ready for walking!

It's National School Lunch Week! Please join us in thanking our child nutrition team. We love fueling learners and appreciate all the work they do to make meals for students each day.
Students and parents, do you need internet? We have more hotspots in stock and ready for check out.
Remember, this Friday is State In-Service Day. There is no school.

Please bring extra help, a wagon or backpack, or strong muscles to meal pickup today. We now provide breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack. Thursday’s deliveries include Friday’s meals. Thank you, Nutrition Team!
Tonight at 7 pm get involved in our Friday night fun. Head outside and yell "Go Vikings" to support everyone who is missing out on school, athletics and activities. We may be isolated but we are always there for each other.
We will be starting MAPS testing at the high school Monday, Sept. 14. Students will receive an invite from their Advisory teacher. They must log on their computer sometime between 9:15-11:30 or 1:30-4:00. Teachers will lead them through the testing process. There will be no regular classes this week due to testing.
Free Sports Physicals
Free Sports Physicals will be at UHS from 2-5 PM by Family Health Associates on Wednesday, Sept 9th. Masks are required and be aware of distancing during this process. NEW physicals are required for all current 7th, 9th, and 11th graders who would like to do athletics during the next two years. Current 8th, 10th, and 12th graders who had a physical last year DO NOT need one, but if you didn't receive a physical last year and would like to participate this year you will need to get one.
Absences are excused today. If students are able to login, we are here and ready. If students are unable to login, please do not worry. There is no need to phone/email to excuse, we know your plate is extra full today. Meals will be delivered today, please be patient, some routes will be more challenging and could cause delays. Stay safe, Umatilla!
