It's Spring Conference time!

Let's pack the school in support of this beautiful little girl and her family. This benefit is sponsored by Vey Ranch, Main Street Market, Echo Quarterback Club, and the Midway Bar and Grill. All proceeds will go towards Eleanor's medical expenses. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!!!

Sorry for the delay! I forgot all about the lunch menu.
The home softball game scheduled for today is now being played in Irrigon!
Kindergarten Roundup is just around the corner!
Spring sports are in full swing. Have a great week!!!

We would like to take a moment to congratulate Taylor Jo Hoffman, who was just awarded The Oregon FFA Award for Equine Science Entrepreneurship. We are so proud and cannot wait to see you represent the State of Oregon at Nationals💙💛🎉💙💛🎉

Save the date!


We wanted to make you aware of the cosmetic changes to the front of the school that will be occurring over spring break. Due to safety issues and continued damage being done to the sidewalks and building, the two large trees in front of the school are going to be removed. This will be happening during spring break, March 25-29. The district does have plans (see below) to come back with landscaping and beautification of the front area. Thank you for your understanding and reach out with any questions.
Preschool enrollment is coming up very soon! We've added the direct link to all things preschool on the District Website below.
