Updates & Information
Great First Week Back!
Thank you for making our first week back, with All-In, a success! As a reminder, our school schedule is 9:15 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. We release early, at 2:15 p.m., on Wednesdays for School Improvement Wednesday staff professional development work. You can view our All-In Bell Schedule HERE.
Thanks to a federal grant, students will continue to enjoy breakfast, lunch and supper offerings at school at no cost at school. You will find the daily menu online at: https://bend.nutrislice.com
Every one of us can help to control the spread of COVID-19 in our community and schools. Join our students as they model exceptional COVID-19 prevention efforts by wearing a mask, regularly washing hands, maintaining physical distance, avoiding large gatherings, and staying home when you have symptoms. Together, we can follow proven public health practices that reduce our own chance of getting infected and prevent the spread of COVID-19 to our friends and family.
iPads
It was verified this week that iPads will not be turned in this June. Due to summer learning opportunities, we will ask our students to hold on to their iPads (just like they did last spring).

State Testing
The United States Department of Education (ED) responded to Oregon’s strategic waiver request on Friday, March 26, 2021. ED did NOT approve Oregon’s request to suspend state testing for 2021. However, there are opportunities regarding what spring 2021 summative assessment expectations will look like in Oregon.
What we know right now:
- State testing (OSAS) is happening but the tests are shorter and not all grade levels are required to take all subjects (for HS only 11th graders are required to test)
- Opt-out procedures are the same as other years – Opt-out forms are below
- Testing window is April 13 – June 11.
- Testing data will be reported publicly but not used for accountability.
Dates to Remember
May 10th: Last 6-week rotation begins (White Schedule) – periods 1, 2, 4, 5, 7
May 21 – 22: Musical The Lion King Jr.
May 31: No School / Memorial Day

Last week of school: Some of you have wondered about what the last week of school schedule will look like this year. Now that we are all-in, and assuming we stay all-in for the remainder of this year, we will be following the original calendar during these last days of this school year. Specifically, during the last week of school, Monday and Tuesday are “regular” days, Wednesday is a “regular” (full-length) day, Thursday will be an “SIW release” day, and Friday is a work day for teachers and last day.
