Dear Central Families,
As the weather begins to get colder, we want to remind everyone to please make sure students come to school dressed appropriately for outdoor recess. Whenever possible, students will continue to go outside for fresh air and playtime, even on chilly days.
Please ensure your child has a warm coat, hat, and gloves or mittens each day, as well as any other clothing needed to stay comfortable during outdoor activities. Labeling your child’s items with their name can also help prevent lost belongings.
Thank you for helping us keep all students safe, warm, and ready to enjoy recess throughout the fall and winter seasons!
Warm regards,
Steve Collins & Monica West

Dear La Grande School District Families, Staff, and Community,
Please be advised that all schools will be closed on Thursday, November 7, 2025.

Due to the large number of visiting teams, fans, and officials, we anticipate significant parking and traffic congestion around the high school, Central elementary and La Grande middle school campuses. Closing for the day will ensure safe and efficient access for all guests, volunteers, and event operations.
We shall reschedule this school day to take place on June 5, 2026.
We appreciate your understanding and support as La Grande proudly welcomes schools from across Oregon to this exciting state championship event!
