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.

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
