Today, students reported seeing an unattended gun in the backyard of a home neighboring the McNary Heights playground. Police were phoned and the school was placed in a precautionary secure status. In a secure status, students have normal school activities but remain in a locked school.
Police responded promptly and located a BB gun pistol that had been accidentally left outside.
Students are back to normal activities and everyone is safe.
We are proud of our Mustangs for seeing and reporting a concern promptly and for school staff in a fast response. Thank you, Umatilla Police for your outstanding service to our students.

McNary Heights is in a secure status due to a situation in the neighborhood. There is no concern within the school. Students are safe and participating in normal school activities within the building.
