Superintendent’s Message—August 3, 2021 The rule requiring masks for all individuals age 2 and older in indoor school settings is in effect now. You can read the bulletin from Oregon Department of Education at the following link: https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/ORED/bulletins/2eb3b6d This means that students and staff participating in our elementary JumpStart program must wear masks in the building. Masks do not have to be worn outdoors. We will continue to advocate for local control in decision-making, but this requirement is not something we have the ability to change locally at this time. We will continue to update information as it is released. Sincerely, Beth Burton, Superintendent

Superintendent’s Message—July 30, 2021 A few weeks ago, I posted that masks would be optional this coming school year, and that time, masks were a local decision. We learned yesterday that Governor Brown is mandating masks for all people age 2 and older indoors in school settings. She directed Oregon Health Authority and Oregon Department of Education to create a face covering rule, and we will be required to follow it once it is adopted at the state level. School officials will be receiving more information about this Monday, August 2nd. I will share as many details as are available at that time. In the meantime, I want to acknowledge the frustration and disappointment that abounds in the community. I also want to appreciate the good things that are happening in Stanfield as we are preparing for full-day in-person learning for all students K-12. Our facilities are taking shape as construction is winding down. We are starting a district-operated transportation program and have purchased new busses. We have been busy over the summer working to be ready for this new school year. We are excited to have kids in the buildings next month, and we are so looking forward to serving them face-to-face and not through Zoom. Registration is August 10th from 8am-11am and 4pm-7pm. The first day of school for students is August 23rd. We will continue to post updates and regular messaging on our website and our Facebook page. As we have learned in the last year, information changes rapidly; we are doing our best to communicate as clearly and efficiently as possible. Thank you for continuing to support our students, staff, and schools. Sincerely, Beth Burton, Superintendent

Monday, May 31, 2021, is Memorial Day. The Stanfield School District is very grateful to those men and women who died while serving in our military, in order to give us the freedoms we enjoy today. "Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season."
