La Grande Schools on a 2 HOUR DELAY on Friday, January 12, 2024
All schools in the La Grande School District will be on a 2 HOUR DELAY Friday, January 12, 2024 due to adverse weather and slick road conditions. Expect that buses will be on their same routes, but two hours later.
Please check our district website, Facebook page as well as news and radio media for updated information. Please know, if you don’t feel it is safe for your child to get on the bus or drive to school, you have every right to keep them home. There will be no negative consequences for your child. You may call the school and your child will receive an excused absence.

It’s National Thank You Month! Thank You Month is an opportunity to spread kindness by thanking all the people who’ve helped us along the way.
To kick off Thank You Month, we want to thank you for your dedication. Every day, you encourage your student to learn and grow. You are a major reason for the success of our students, and it’s an honor to serve your family.
We encourage you to spend some time this January thinking about what you’re thankful for and express gratitude for those who have helped you. Help from others is so appreciated and, at times, needed.
