Recientemente, el Departamento de Educación emitió un aviso de salud escolar para los meses de enero y febrero en respuesta a la rápida transmisión de la variante Omicron. Aunque actualmente podemos participar en todas las actividades extracurriculares y continuar la escuela en persona, el Departamento de Educacion ha emitido una advertencia sobre los riesgos asociados con la participación en actividades extracurriculares.. Es esencial que las personas se adhieran a los protocolos de salud. Si usted o un miembro de su familia se siente enfermo, no continúe asistiendo a la escuela ni a otras actividades, ya que esto podría causar que la enfermedad se contagie a otras personas. Tómese el tiempo que necesite para sentirse mejor y solo entonces regrese a sus actividades normales.

The Oregon Department of Education recently issued a School Health Advisory for the months of January and February in response to the rapid transmission of the Omicron variant. Current modeling predicts that Oregon will experience a significant COVID-19 surge, driven by the Omicron variant.
Although we are currently able to participate in all extracurricular activities and continue in-person school, the Oregon Department of Education has issued a caution regarding the risks associated with participating in extracurricular activities.
Please understand that it is essential that individuals adhere to health and safety protocols to minimize the spread of COVID-19. If you or a family member are feeling ill, please do not continue to attend school or other activities, since this could cause the illness to spread to others. Take the time you need to feel better, and only then return to normal activities.
Please continue to exercise caution in your personal health decisions so that our students will be able to continue to attend school in person and participate in the extracurricular activities they love.
Thank you,
Darren Johnson
Superintendent

NHS Basketball Fans,
If planning on traveling to Riverside for games tomorrow, the weather and roads have been terrible this past week. Schools in this region have only held school two days this week. Tomorrow, Friday 1/7 is supposed to bring better weather but there are no guarantees. If there is a cancellation we will send out another notification as soon as the decision is made.
Please also know that the mask mandate in the state of Oregon for indoor facilities is still in effect. Riverside is using a zero tolerance mask monitoring policy. If you are failing to wear your mask you will be asked to leave the facility. They will not be giving warnings or multiple chances.
Due to a shortage of officials, Riverside is struggling to find officials for the game. Currently they are trying to find JV officials for tomorrow's game. If they are successful in finding an official, please show your appreciation by remaining positive, not directing comments to the officials, and demonstrating good sportsmanship.
We appreciate your support of our athletes. Thank you!

Buenos dias Padres y estudiantes,
Al mirar las calles en Nyssa, hemos decidido tener clases en horario regular hoy. Hay hielo y nieve en las calles, asi que necesitan tener cuidado al manejar. Los autobuses quizas llegan un poco tarde debido a las condiciones. Llamen a la escuela de su hijo si tienen preguntas.
Good morning Parents and Students,
We have checked the roads and have determined that we will have school today on a normal schedule. There is some snow and ice on the roads, so please exercise caution while driving. The buses may be a little later than normal due to slower driving conditions. Please call your child's school with any questions.
Padres y estudiantes,
Esperamos unas tormentas esta noche. Si tenemos que demorar o cancelar la escuela, les enviaremos un texto. Para los que no reciben texto, pueden mirar al sitio del distrito o en Facebook.
