Good Evening Outlaws,
Yesterday, our Superintendent made the exciting announcement that our students are returning to live in-person instruction. It’s almost been a year since we’ve been together. This news is very exciting, and we’ll need to work together to transition after so much time away from each other and we do need to work with a new set of rules that will guide our routines. My goal today is to give you an overview of what will happen over the next few weeks to help us smoothly transition back to school.
Three Essentials for our Health:
Wearing masks, washing hands, and keeping appropriate physical distance from one another as much as possible. We will need everyone’s help to make this happen and this will be a priority.
Schedule:
We will maintain our current schedule, the difference will be that on Monday and Wednesdays 9th and 10th graders will be in-person at school then home the other days; while the 11th and 12th graders will be in-person on Tuesday and Thursday and at home the other days.

Why are we Cohorting and using the Hybrid approach?
The Oregon Health Authority and Oregon Department of Education state in the Ready Schools Safe Learners guidelines that a key strategy in reducing the spread of COVID-19 is to establish small cohorts, limit the cohorts students are in contact with, and modify the school schedule to limit the total number of students in the building at any one time.
What are my options if we’re not comfortable with our kids returning?
We understand that there are families that have different needs and may want their students to remain at home. If this is the case, please reach out to your student’s counselor as soon as possible so they can create a schedule that meets your family’s needs utilizing Sisters Educational Options.
Only two weeks
Go Outlaws!
