Happy Friday - Waldport Middle and High School

School in the Fall

We would like to share with families and the public, Lincoln County School District expects to fully reopen schools to full-day, five-day, in-person learning this fall. Wednesday will be the hour early release. We maintain those expectations today in light of the Oregon Department of Education announcement of the Resiliency Framework for the 2021-2022 school year.

There are always many details to opening school in the fall, and this year those details will include things like COVID-19 safety measures. We of course will continue to partner with public health officials and plan to keep families updated as we finalize those details over the summer.

Nos gustaría compartir con las familias y el público que el Distrito Escolar del Condado Lincoln espera reabrir completamente las escuelas para el aprendizaje en persona de cinco días de tiempo completo este otoño. El miércoles será la hora de salida temprana. Hoy mantenemos esas expectativas a la luz del anuncio del Departamento de Educación de Oregon del Marco de Resiliencia para el año escolar 2021-2022.

Siempre hay muchos detalles sobre cómo se abrirán las escuelas en el otoño, y este año esos detalles incluirán cosas como las medidas de seguridad de COVID-19. Por supuesto, continuaremos asociándonos con los funcionarios de salud pública y planeamos mantener a las familias actualizadas mientras finalizamos esos detalles durante el verano.

Reminders/Old Stuff

Every week I put out what I call a “Happy Friday!” post to parents and community. In the “Happy Friday!” I talk about good things and new stuff as well as reminders and old stuff. In addition I have an ‘upcoming events’ outline to help ensure parents are in the know and have an idea of what’s coming up. I can also use this as a way for Boosters, Senior Parents, and Counseling Center to get information out. I try and BOLD information to make it easier for parents to scan.

Crestview and Waldport MS/HS are hiring! Waldport is desperate for Sodexo kitchen workers and custodians! If you know of anyone that is able to work, please send them to the website to apply. The location is listed as Toledo for kitchen on the website. We are also needing bus drivers! (Must be willing to be vaccinated per Governor’s mandate)

Students who are 16 years of age or older are able to apply for the kitchen to work during school hours – and be paid!
