Dear La Grande School District Families, Staff, and Community,
Please be advised that all schools will be closed on Thursday, November 7, 2025.
This decision was made to support our role as host of the OSAA 1A/2A Volleyball State Championships. 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!

Dear families:
Starting Monday, September 29, for the safety and comfort of all our students, staff, and families, we kindly ask that pets, including dogs, not be brought to the student pick up and drop off areas during arrival and dismissal times. Even well behaved pets can be unpredictable in busy environments, and some children may have allergies or fears.
To help us maintain a calm and safe environment for everyone, we appreciate your cooperation in leaving pets at home or keeping them secured away from school entrances. Thank you for helping us keep our school community safe and welcoming for all!
-Steve Collins and Monica West
