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.

If you or a family member needs extra support, La Grande School District partnered with Care Solace to support the well-being of students and their family members.
