Guidance on When Students May Return to School After Illness
We want to ensure the health and safety of all students in our school community. The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) has guidelines to help families determine when their child is well enough to return to school after being sick.
As the winter season ramps up, we are sharing these guidelines on our website for your convenience. Please review them carefully and refer to them anytime your child experiences symptoms or illness. Following these recommendations helps keep our classrooms healthy and reduces the spread of illness.
If you have any questions, please contact the school office. Thank you for helping us support a safe and healthy learning environment for all students.
Families,
When you are dropping off or picking up your children, please do not block any crosswalk or sidewalks. We are getting complains from law enforcement about vehicles blocking both crosswalks and sidewalks. If the line to get into the drive through is long, we suggest finding a parking place and walking in to pick up your children. Please be patient with other drivers and the Central staff. Student safety is our number one priority!
Here is information on the Drop off and pickup up zones, if you haven't had a chance to read it/.

Dear Central Families,
This is a reminder that there will be no school tomorrow, Tuesday, November 11th, in observance of Veterans Day. Classes will resume on Wednesday, November 12th.
We encourage everyone to take a moment to honor and thank the brave men and women who have served our country.
Thank you,
Central Elementary Administration
Please be advised that all schools will be closed on Friday, November 7, 2025.
This decision was made to support our role as host of the OSAA 1A/2A Volleyball State Championships. Due to the large number of visiting teams, fans, and officials, we anticipate significant parking and traffic congestion around the high school, Central elementary and La Grande middle school campuses. Closing for the day will ensure safe and efficient access for all guests, volunteers, and event operations.
We shall reschedule this school day to take place on June 5, 2026.
We appreciate your understanding and support as La Grande proudly welcomes schools from across Oregon to this exciting state championship event!
