We have confirmed with the Oregon Department of Education that the Governor's announcement today does not impact schools. We will continue with our current operations, and continue to work toward LIPI and hybrid options as the metrics allow. If you missed the Governor's announcement, you may view it here: https://www.oregonlive.com/coronavirus/2020/11/watch-gov-kate-brown-announce-a-two-week-pause-to-slow-coronavirus-spread.html

Students, do you ever wonder how much we miss you? Well, Mr. Gebers still does bus duty, just in case you happen to pull in. Yes, we all miss you THIS much. Only Gebers wears flip-flops with socks though. Stay safe, Vikings, we love you!

We are so thankful for this amazing track! We know it’s been hard on the entire community to stay away from our Athletic Complex during repairs. We need you to avoid it for three more days please to allow the finish to fully set. Monday, it’s ready for walking!


We're so excited about Girls Tech Day! Girls aged 8-24 are invited to attend for a virtual day dedicated to STEM. Register here: http://www.cvent.com/events/aws-girls-tech-day/event-summary-bd517818d92949a99198c428f7b8a8bf.aspx

Thank you, Principals!


It's National School Lunch Week! Please join us in thanking our child nutrition team. We love fueling learners and appreciate all the work they do to make meals for students each day.


Students and parents, do you need internet? We have more hotspots in stock and ready for check out.



Remember, this Friday is State In-Service Day. There is no school.



Please bring extra help, a wagon or backpack, or strong muscles to meal pickup today. We now provide breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack. Thursday’s deliveries include Friday’s meals. Thank you, Nutrition Team!


Absences are excused today. If students are able to login, we are here and ready. If students are unable to login, please do not worry. There is no need to phone/email to excuse, we know your plate is extra full today. Meals will be delivered today, please be patient, some routes will be more challenging and could cause delays. Stay safe, Umatilla!

OSAA released Athletic guidance for Fall on 07/22/2020: http://www.osaa.org/docs/osaainfo/OSAA_Media_Release_July_22.pdf

Need to register a new student? Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdIc3BISmyHHG4NQDgtBPgg0wa9tQIxQbG3P1cltKQhBZEvMw/viewform?fbclid=IwAR2a89sy2bzALogPiABL5BYfIrkl4FJzNEjgIAxYDfy0tc-M4MW9oSYS0mo

Looking for this year's school supply list? Stop looking, because it does not exist. We know times are stressful with COVID so we used our donations from Amazon to purchase the following for each student:
1) Earbuds with microphone for online learning
2) Neck buff (for when we return to onsite hybrid instruction)
In addition, each student will have a Chromebook checked out for his/her/their use. A mouse is available for Kinder and first grade students and students with special needs for whom operating the mousepad on the Chromebook is challenging.
Also, basic supplies (pencils, pens, crayons, paper, etc.) will be on meal buses. If you need a supply, just ask at meal delivery. If projects require additional supplies, they'll be sent home on buses as well.
