Sign Up For Inclement Weather Alerts
FlashAlert is the system that we use to notify you of school closures, delays, and other similar events. If you have not already, you should verify your subscriptions at https://www.flashalert.net/login.html. Please note that this is not a West Linn-Wilsonville system and we can provide only limited help.
Remember, we will only alert families if there is a delay or school closure. We will not send communication if school is starting on time. Families can also visit their school or district website to view the most current operating status.

Safety Spotlight — Cold/Flu/COVID-19 Season
This time of year brings additional cases of flu and colds, so this is not out of the ordinary. The media is continuing to inform us about infections circulating both locally and beyond, which can cause concern and stress. If your student is healthy (no chronic illnesses or diseases), we encourage them to come to school (unless of course, your doctor specifies something different).
- First and foremost, make sure your family is eating healthy, being active, and getting enough sleep
- Talk with friends and family before a gathering about anyone being ill or feeling unwell to make an informed decision about whether or not to participate,
- Wash hands frequently
- Wear a mask in public settings (yes, even at school) to reduce unwanted exposure and protect others if you are in that early phase of becoming sick
- Stay home when feeling unwell
- Get vaccinated (if possibly last but not least, help our kids learn the why and how of navigating illnesses to protect themselves as well as others when we are not well.
As a reminder, those who test positive for COVID-19 need to isolate for 5 full days. Day 0 is the day of symptom onset or, if no symptoms of illness, the day of testing. Day 6, as long as individuals are feeling well and/or symptoms of illness are much improved (and without a fever for >24 hours without use of a fever reducing medication), they can return to school. It is strongly recommended that individuals wear a well-fitted mask for Days 6-10 to reduce their ability to transmit the virus.
