*Beginning September 17th. the North Santiam School District will delay the start of school each Monday by one hour. During the delayed start teachers will be working in Professional Learning Communities to enhance our instruction for all students. Families unable to find childcare for that hour will be welcome to bring their child to school at the regular time, where they will be supervised by staff members. Release time for kindergarten on those days will be adjusted as well. We will give you more accurate times once the bus schedule has been made.

*The Hornet Hive Program will once again be offered beginning October 1^st. Students participating in the program will be offered an after school snack, a 15 minute recess, an hour of academic supports 4 days a week, and an hour of recreational activities.
