February is National CTE Month. Career and Technical Education encompasses programs that directly prepare students for high-wage, high-demand careers in many different fields including advanced manufacturing, agriculture, business, food and travel, health care and more.


National School Counseling Week, Feb. 1–5, 2021. School counselors are actively engaged in helping students examine their abilities, strengths, interests and talents; working in a partnership with parents as they encounter the challenges of raising children in today’s world; focusing on positive ways to enhance students’ academic, postsecondary and social/emotional development; and working with teachers and other educators to provide an educational system where students can realize their potential and set healthy, realistic and optimistic aspirations for themselves. School counselors are certified, experienced educators with a master’s degree in school counseling. The combination of their training and experience makes them an integral part of the total educational program. Thank you Mrs. Wright for your continued compassion and dedication to the students of Stanfield School District. We appreciate you very much.

The Stanfield School District will join the other 196 school districts throughout Oregon to celebrate January as “School Board Recognition Month. We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the hard work and dedication our board members demonstrate. Our school board members spend countless hours of unpaid time working to provide the best possible education for our students. They also serve as the corporate board of directors for one of our community’s largest employers. Celebrating School Board Recognition Month is one way to say thanks for all they do.
Even though we are making a special effort during January to show appreciation for our school board members, we recognize their contributions reflect a year-round effort on their part. They are dedicated individuals who are committed to improving student achievement and to fighting for the best for all of our students.


We are very excited to announce that the district office will be relocating. We will be making the transition to our new offices in the secondary school on Wednesday, January 13. Both the school office and district office will be located at the Main Entrance into the building. The district office will be on the left and the school office right.


Stanfield School District will be celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr., Day on Monday, January 18, 2021. As such , there will be no school or school meals delivered that day. Remember to wear your face covering, social distance at least 6 feet, and wash your hands often.


Lately, everywhere I go, people are asking, “When are we going to open up school?” It’s the most important question right now. The answer is: soon.
We are doing some preliminary planning, but the final guidance update from the state will be released Jan. 19th, and we are waiting to find out how the changes in guidance affect our plans. Much clearer info will be coming out for students and parents the week of January 19th. In the meantime, teachers are calling all parents/guardians to survey them about reopening. Your feedback is incredibly valuable.
We want to open. We are working to make it possible. We are getting closer every day. Stay tuned for important info about reopening the week of January 19th.
Sincerely,
Beth Burton, Superintendent
