Dear Parents and Community Members;
After careful consideration and talks with the local Health District and State, the Arlington School District has decided to start the school year with “distance learning” for the first several weeks. The first day of school will be September 8th. Students can choose to use packet curriculum or online.
On September 21st we will re-evaluate the conditions at that time and determine if we will continue the “distance learning” or move to a “hybrid” or regular school schedule. Please return the registration paperwork that was sent home in the mail earlier this month to the school if you have not already done so. If you are new to the District please contact the District office at 541-454-2632 or email mshandy@arlington.k12.or.us for registration paperwork to enroll your student.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact the school.
Please remember to mail in or drop of your student registration paperwork as soon as possible. These forms went out in the mail last week. Thank you!

Following a press release from Governor Brown and updated guidance from the Oregon Department of Education on Tuesday, July 28, 2020, Arlington School District is working towards finalizing plans for reopening school in Fall 2020. Districts were given updated guidance that included metrics for cases that schools need to follow in order to hold in-person instruction. These metrics include case rate per 100,000, test positivity rate and are calculated over a consecutive three-week period of time.
We are anticipating additional guidance from ODE for rural schools, with the hope of accommodations that would allow us the option to have in-person instruction. However, based on current state requirements, Gillam County would need to look at the possibility of beginning school with a distance learning model.
Our distance learning model will be based on our teachers developing student packets. Once state guidelines are met, we will move to a hybrid model of learning which will consist of an A and B day schedule. For parents who would like an online option, the district will provide instruction through the Accelus learning curriculum.
Once we receive the final guidance from ODE for rural schools, we will finalize our reopening plans and offer detailed information. These guidelines will include learning options, registration information, student supply list.
Arlington School District is committed to providing the best learning options for your child. I appreciate your understanding as we work through the state guidelines to ensure your child’s safety. As always, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Brandon Hammond

Arlington School District is inviting all families to answer survey questions about school in the fall. This will help us better understand what families are most concerned about and need, as we continue to work through the guidance from the state. We remain committed to our goal of having every student return to the building every day. Please return as soon as possible. As always, if you have a question or concern please do not hesitate to contact the district office. This survey is also going out by USPS. If you have already completed and returned the paper survey please do not complete this online version. Click on this link for the survey: https://forms.gle/Yb4PGLX5Qywa3y3fA
