LGSD Families: As a reminder, all students need to register for the bus each year, even if they rode the bus last year and still attend the same school. Please call MidCo Bus Company (541-963-6119) to register your student or students. The one page registration form can be found on the LGSD website at the following link: https://www.lagrandesd.org/browse/169787 Please email completed registration forms to Kathaleen Maley at kmaley@midcobus.com or drop them off at their office at 1901 Jefferson St. Due to COVID restrictions and contact-tracing, LGSD is urging all parents who have the ability to transport their own kids, to please do so! Masks will be required while riding the bus per State mandate. Registering your students for the bus early helps make the start of school a smoother transition for all. Many Thanks!

The La Grande School District is receiving phone calls from concerned community members regarding headlines such as, "The state of Oregon will no longer require its students to demonstrate proficiency in math, reading and writing in order to earn a high school diploma." Though passing the state assessments will not be required in Oregon for graduation, please know the La Grande School District will still be providing quality instruction in math, reading and writing, still be assessing student's skills in Fall/Winter/Spring in Reading, Writing, and Math in all grade-levels, still be encouraging students to take Advance Placement (AP) and dual credit English and Math courses, and still be requiring the rigorous credit requirements for receiving a high school diploma. We are aimed at "preparing all students for their brightest future!"

This fall, LGSD students will attend school full-time, five days per week. The Oregon Department of Education is now revising guidance to support K-12 schools in safely delivering in-person instruction. That guidance, Ready Schools, Safe Learners, is expected on or before July 24th. LGSD will work with a committee of parents, community members, and staff to update our safety plans and those will be released in early August.

"Kindergarten is such an essential point in a child's social, emotional, and cognitive development. Certainly, our teachers focus on exposing students to foundational literacy and numeracy skills, but above all else we want students to feel excited about learning, to interact with other children, and to understand how to participate as a part of a school community." - Ryan Westenskow, Principal, Greenwood Elementary
