Superintendent Message, April 8, 2020 @ 3:30 pm

Today at 1 pm, Governor Kate Brown announced that public schools in Oregon would be closed to students for the remainder of the school year.  At the same time, the Pathways to Graduation was released today for the Class of 2020 only.

Effective Monday, April 13th, the Pendleton School District has been directed to commence with the Distance Learning for All Plan.  The Distance Learning for All plan is for students’ grades K-11 and any seniors who are not currently on track to graduate.

Teachers have been reaching out to students and families for the last several days to reconnect with you in preparation for the 13th.   I am attempting to provide you with critical information in this message.  A comprehensive guide from the Oregon Department of Education that explains the rationale for these decisions will be forthcoming.

Seniors:  Class of 2020

  1. Your school year will officially end on May 27th as scheduled.
  2. Seniors who were on-track to graduate when schools closed as of March 13th have met the graduation requirements.  No further work will be required in order for you to receive a diploma.
  3. Seniors who were not on-track to graduate when schools closed as of March 13th, will continue to work towards earning the credits needed to earn your diploma.
  4. All seniors will receive written notification within the next 7-10 business days of your graduation status.  If you are unsure of your status, you should continue with our Distance Learning for All plan.  Appropriate information and links are on our district and PHS webpages.
  5. Seniors in Dual Credit classes will need to complete the courses online if they want the college credit.

Graduation:  Class of 2020:

1.  Unfortunately, at this time, it is unknown if or when a graduation ceremony will take place.

2.  The district intends to work with the senior class to develop an alternative plan if need be to honor the accomplishments of the Class of 2020.

Grades 9, 10 & 11:  Classes of 2021, 2022 & 2023

  1. Your school year will officially end on June 4th as scheduled unless the Governor, State Board of Education, or the Oregon Department of Education directs us otherwise.
  2. All students’ grades 9-11 are to continue engaging in their education through our Distance Learning for All plan.  Appropriate information and links are on our district and PHS webpages.
  3. You should expect to be contacted by your teachers by phone or email at least twice a week.
  4. Further guidance from the Oregon Department of Education is expected to be released in the coming days.

Grades K-8:

  1. Your school year will officially end on June 4th as scheduled unless the Governor, State Board of Education, or the Oregon Department of Education directs us otherwise.
  2. All students in grades K-8 will continue to be engaged through our Distance Learning for All plan.  Appropriate links are on our district and school webpages.
  3. Further guidance from the Oregon Department of Education will be communicated as it is released.

Specific questions about your child’s educational plan should first be directed to the school or your child’s teacher.  Contact information is provided on our district and school webpages.

I ask for your continued patience as we work through these unchartered times.

Mensaje del Superintendente, 8 de abril de 2020 a las 3:30 p.m.

Hoy a la 1 pm, la Gobernadora Kate Brown anunció que las escuelas públicas de Oregón permanecerían cerradas para los estudiantes por el resto del año escolar. Al mismo tiempo, Caminos Hacia la Graduación se lanzó hoy solo para la Clase 2020.

A partir del lunes 13 de abril, se ha ordenado al Distrito Escolar de Pendleton que comience con el Plan de Educación a Distancia para Todos. El plan de Aprendizaje a distancia para todos es para los estudiantes de los grados K-11 y cualquier estudiante del grado doce que actualmente no esté en camino de graduarse.

Los maestros se han comunicado con los estudiantes y las familias durante los últimos días para reconectarse con usted en preparación para el 13. Estoy tratando de proporcionarle la información crítica en este mensaje. Próximamente se proporcionará una guía completa del Departamento de Educación de Oregón que explica los fundamentos de estas decisiones.

Estudiantes del grado doce: clase de 2020

1. Su año escolar finalizará oficialmente el 27 de mayo según lo programado.

2. Estudiantes que estaban en camino de graduarse cuando las escuelas cerraron el 13 de marzo han cumplido con los requisitos de graduación. No se requerirá más trabajo para que pueda recibir un diploma.

3. Estudiantes que no estaban en camino de graduarse cuando las escuelas cerraron el 13 de marzo, continuarán trabajando para obtener los créditos necesarios para obtener su diploma.

4. Todos los estudiantes recibirán una notificación por escrito dentro de los próximos 7-10 días hábiles de su estado de graduación. Si no está seguro de su estado, debe continuar con nuestro plan de Educación a Distancia para Todos. La información y los enlaces apropiados se encuentran en las páginas web de nuestro distrito y PHS.

5. Estudiantes en las clases de doble crédito deberán completar los cursos en línea si quieren el crédito universitario.

Graduación: Clase de 2020:

1. Desafortunadamente en este momento se desconoce si se realizará una ceremonia de graduación o cuándo.

2. El distrito tiene la intención de trabajar con los estudiantes del grado doce para desarrollar un plan alternativo si es necesario honrar los logros de la Clase de 2020.

Grados 9, 10 y 11: clases de 2021, 2022 y 2023

1. Su año escolar finalizará oficialmente el 4 de junio según lo programado, a menos que la Gobernadora, la Junta de Educación del Estado o el Departamento de Educación de Oregón nos indique lo contrario.

2. Todos los estudiantes de los grados 9-11 deben continuar participando en su educación a través de nuestro plan de Educación a Distancia para Todos. La información y los enlaces apropiados se encuentran en las páginas web de nuestro distrito y PHS.

3. Debe esperar que sus maestros se comuniquen con usted por teléfono o correo electrónico al menos dos veces por semana.

4. Se espera que se publique más orientación del Departamento de Educación de Oregón en los próximos días.

Grados K-8:

1. Su año escolar finalizará oficialmente el 4 de junio según lo programado, a menos que la Gobernadora, la Junta de Educación del Estado o el Departamento de Educación de Oregón nos indique lo contrario.

2. Todos los estudiantes en los grados K-8 continuarán participando a través de nuestro plan de Educación a Distancia para Todos. Los enlaces apropiados están en las páginas web de nuestro distrito y escuela.

3. Se comunicará más orientación del Departamento de Educación de Oregón cuando se publique.

Las preguntas específicas sobre el plan educativo de su hijo/a deben dirigirse primero a la escuela o al maestro/a de su hijo/a. La información de contacto se proporciona en las páginas web de nuestro distrito y escuela.

Le pido que continuemos con paciencia mientras trabajamos en estos tiempos desconocidos.
