Dear Parents, Students, and Staff,
As you have probably heard, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) will lift the statewide indoor masking rule no later than March 31. Even though students and staff won't be required to wear masks at school after March 31, they will still be required to wear masks on school buses. The date of March 31 was chosen by OHA to give families enough time to be fully vaccinated if they choose to do so.
We welcome this news that will allow schools to return to our regular activities. We ask that everyone continue to exercise good judgment in health decisions--stay home if you feel sick, wash hands frequently, etc. And please remember, even though masks are no longer required at school after March 31, you can still wear a mask if you wish.

Vaccine Clinic Scheduled
for Thursday, 02/10/2022
in Mac Hall on Elementary Campus
from 3pm-4:30pm
MCHD will be providing COVID vaccines, 1st,2nd, 3rd shots or boosters from Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson and Johnson for individuals 5yrs old and older. Please bring your vaccine record if you have received a previous vaccine. Anyone in the community is able to attend. There is no cost for vaccinations.
Malheur County Drop Day is fast approaching. February 16, 2022 is the required day for a student to have all of their required vaccinations up to date. The guidelines state that if a student passes this date without their required vaccines, they are unable to be on a school campus. This is a county requirement, not a NSD rule. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE ANYTHING TO DO WITH COVID VACCINES. There is no cost for vaccinations. Required school vaccines vary by age, but include:
DTap/Tdap
Polio
Varicella
MMR
Hep A
Hep B
HIB
If your student is in need of a required vaccination, MCHD has agreed to provide these vaccinations at the clinic on the 10th of February. Please contact adewitt@nyssasd.org to sign up by February 9th at 4pm. A count is required to be provided so they know how many and what vaccinations to bring.
If your student is in need of a required school vaccination, please make sure to update your student's record in their school office after they have received it. Thank you.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Have a great weekend,
Aundra De Witt
