Bill Rhoades, North Marion High School’s new CoPrincipal of Teaching and Learning, has a piece of advice to offer amid the COVID-19 pandemic: “There has never been a time when it has been more critical to move forward together and to build belief in ourselves and what we can do.”

Need to get vaccinated? Starting this week, there will be a free vaccine clinic two days a week in Woodburn!

The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. every Thursday and Friday starting Sept. 30 to Oct. 1 at Chemeketa Community College, 120 E. Lincoln St., Room 107, Woodburn.

Everyone is welcome to come to the vaccine clinic, regardless of immigration status. Neither an ID nor a pre-registration is required to attend. Walk-in attendees will be welcome.

The vaccine, as always, will be free to receive. In addition, free, rapid COVID-19 tests will be available.

The entire North Marion School District returned to in-person classes on Sept. 8. Well, almost all of it. Kindergartners will start at the Primary School next week.

This week — on the first day for most students — Middle School Principal David Sheldon called the day "a terrific success."

"Kids were in the building," Sheldon said. "Teachers were out in droves helping guide our students. Lots of evidence of care and connection were visible."

Students were thrilled to be on-site rather than learning remotely.

It’s official: The North Marion School District has kicked off the 2021-22 school year!

To kick off the 2021-22 school year and celebrate our reopening, the North School District is holding in-person Back-to-School Night events this week!

The Oregon Department of Education is specifying that school districts create an operational plan.

There will be an online learning option for students who would like to stay home in the coming school year. The North Marion School District is partnering with Pearson Connexus Learning Platform to create a Virtual Online Program for the 2021-22 school year.

Through the program, students will still be enrolled in a North Marion school, but they will be able to take classes online with certified and licensed Oregon teachers.
