Important Information
Greetings Hawk families!
We are looking forward to seeing your student(s) back to school, five days a week, beginning Monday, April 12. 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.
As reminder, Wednesday, April 7, will be no school day to give staff time to reconfigure classrooms and bring back furniture so that we have work spaces for student on Monday, April 12.
As we plan our return to All-in instruction, I want to share a few reminders:
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
To ride the bus, students must be registered for transportation. Families can register by filling out this form or calling 541-355-5702. Once registered, families should check route times and bus top locations online on our Transportation webpage.
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.
All-In Schedule
Here is our All-In Bell Schedule. This schedule will start on Monday, April 12th. Our doors will open at 9AM, and students will enter the school at the two [same] locations and will be checked for masks, food/drink, and “obvious” physical symptoms of not feeling well.

Hawk News!
10 JROTC Cadets from La Pine High School began work on a community dog park at Rosland Campground. The project, sponsored by the Mayor’s Office, will be completed exclusively by the La Pine NJROTC Unit using recycled materials. It will likely take 3-4 work days, a total of about 200 person hours of work, to complete. There are also plans to build a new trail that connects the two boat launches within the campground. In the fall and early winter, the NJROTC unit completed a trail work project that connected several trails on the campground property which allow walkers and XC skiers to make a loop along the border of the property.
Advisory
We are keeping Advisory on Wednesdays . . . and now we can do it in person! We have created some momentum with Advisory and we felt it was beneficial to keep it in place. It’s still only 15 minutes (not long), but it will allow us to do check-ins, announcements, grade-checks, and some fun team-building activities.
Athletics
HERE is our sporting events this week.
Spring Sports (Track, Baseball & Softball) practices will be starting on April 5th.
Boys Golf will start Monday April 5th. They will meet at Quail Run Golf Course at 4:00. Those that need a ride meet in Mr. Wieber’s room at 3:30. Wear warm clothing. Get signed up on Family ID. Practice will be about 1.5 hours. Student-Athletes are responsible for their own ride home.
All athletes who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 in the past 6 months MUST have this form completed by Wednesday, April 14th to continue participating in any district sponsored athletic activity. This does not apply to students in general physical education. The completed forms need to be sent to the school nurse for final clearance. Nurses will be asked to initial and date the form and send to the athletic secretary or the athletic director (whichever the school/nurse prefers). Once athletics receives the initialed and dated form from the nurse, the athlete will be cleared to return to athletics.

ASVAB test scores are broken down by the individual subtests and their composites.
