The La Grande School District (LGSD) is currently conducting research to determine the possibility of adopting a four-day school week model.  LGSD views this as an important community decision and we ask for your support in giving the district feedback. 

Please review our four-day school week resource website to learn more about potential schedules, past four-day committee meeting notes, presentations,  four day school week research, and video resources.  The four-day school week website can be found at: https://www.lagrandesd.org/page/4-day-week  

If La Grande School District would convert to a four-day school week there would be changes to our calendar and potentially our school schedules to conform to state requirements related to instructional time.
