Reminders for Hybrid Students
It was such a fun week welcoming Hybrid students back to campus! As we continue throughout the rest of the 4th Quarter, we wanted to share a few reminders with students. Students who are attending in person should bring the following items :
- Chromebook, fully charged (or other laptop if you use your own)
- Chromebook charger
- One mask to wear, and one extra if available (we have masks for students who may need them)
- Backpack
- Basic supplies like notebook paper, pens and pencils
- Filled Water Bottle (drinking fountains are not available)
Reminder that all students must be wearing a mask at all time on campus, both indoors and outdoors, as well as on the bus.
Also, reminder that Breakfast and Lunch is available for students at stations set up in the Commons and at main exits each day.
Daily Schedule
Although students only attend classes two days per week, it is important to understand that the other days they are not attending classes are still school days. Teachers will be assigning work for students to complete on their own, outside of class time, which can be done on the days that they do not have scheduled classes.

Many districts across the State have adopted SAFE Oregon as their primary tip line. This summer, the Newberg School District has made it the primary source for reporting any issues that need the attention of the school.

Encourage your student to download the app and/or put the number into their phone. If you would like more information regarding the tip line, please visit SAFEOregon.com.
