Principal’s message (4/24/2020)

Thank you for your continued partnership and support of your child. A personal highlight is seeing student art, poems, and writing that has been shared. We recognize that the shift to distance learning remains a challenge in many ways and our team desires to connect and support you.

We have always valued our partnership with families; moreover, the shift into distance learning has deepened our sense of connectedness with you. We are grateful for your support, collaboration, and commitment. Thank you.

School Year Extended to June 19, 2020

Our school year calendar includes a number of possible make up days in the event that students miss instructional days due to weather or other emergencies. Corvallis students missed five days of school (March 16-20) leading up to Spring Break as we followed Governor Kate Brown’s mandated school closure order.

• In order to make up the five instructional days, students will continue with Distance Learning and we will utilize the designated school make up days from June 15-19.
• June 19 will be the last day of the 2019-20 school year.

Distance Learning for All began April 6 for middle and high school students and April 13 for elementary students. The additional time for Distance Learning in June provides a final week of learning activities and closure for students and teachers and will extend our connection with at-risk students leading into the summer months. Our staff is working hard to connect resources and support to all families and we are grateful for your patience and partnership.
