Oregon Health Authority, in collaboration with Oregon Department of Education, has sent iHealth antigen self-tests to all Title I schools in Oregon to be sent home with students. These tests represent one strategy to increase access to testing resources in our school communities.
We have received enough tests to distribute one test kit (containing two tests) to each student. Keep watch in your student(s) backpack for a kit containing these tests, along with an instructional flyer. Students and their families are encouraged to use these tests if they develop symptoms consistent with COVID-19 or who have had a known exposure to COVID-19.
In addition to these tests, there is free drive through testing at St. Anthony's on Wednesdays, 11:00-2:00.
Thank you and stay healthy!

Great news!!! We will be sending a rooter bus to Baker for Thursday's game. JH/HS students are invited to attend. A generous donation was made and the tickets to get into the game have been paid for. The students who wish to attend will be coming home with a permission slip. This permission slip must be turned into the office by Thursday morning. The bus will leave at 6:00pm and not return until around midnight. Your student will still need to bring money for food/beverages during and after the game.
We will be holding a benefit dinner for Mrs. Bench, a long time employee of the Echo School District. She was recently diagnosed with stage four Kidney Cancer and has a tough battle ahead. Please view the flyer for all the details.
