Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving Break! We'll see everyone back on Nov. 27, 2023
Thank you for being here. Our school community is grateful for the families and warmth of Redmond. Sending your kids to school with regular attendance is the best way for students to be successful now and in the future. Superintendent Cline shares some information and discussion with Vern Patrick Elementary Principal Doug Taylor about the importance of regular attendance.
And what a great school community to send your kids to! Check out some of the recent highlights at Redmond schools.
Home Builders at RHS
Redmond High construction students (from left to right) Jensen Burke, Deven Johnson, Titus Box, Zachary Allumbaugh, and Memphis Evanson have spent the last three months building an Oasis Village shelter unit.

Unified Sports Teams Place at State Games

Read-A-Thon Role Models Role models and student leaders from Redmond High Cheer visited Vern Patrick Elementary to read with kinder and first graders in support of their Read-A-Thon event. Students logged over 100,000 reading hours for the event. Way to go readers and leaders!
Fired Up First Graders

Grandparents Day at Tumalo
Honestly, we just love Grandparents Day. Students at Tumalo Community School were so proud to show off their classrooms and teachers to their Grands. The community engagement warms our hearts right up.
Our staff is always doing amazing work in the district. Here are some recent highlights of staff members who have been recognized for their hard work and dedication.

Jennifer Callahan from Terrebonne Community School is honored as the 2023 Oregon Agriculture in the Classroom Educator of the Year. Great job Jennifer!
Bond Update
The construction of the addition at Tom McCall and Elton Gregory, along with the addition at Vern Patrick have been completed. As we continue to move through the bond projects, the last two major projects are HVAC renovations at both Hugh Hartman and Redmond High School. Both of these projects will take place over the summer of 2024 with completion before the 2024-25 school year. Ongoing work is the security upgrades to every school in the District. What was planned for Access Control has been completed district-wide and we are now working on ways that we can utilize the technology of that system to streamline processes. The new security cameras have been installed at the majority of the schools, with the rest finishing up over the next few months. Controlled interior vestibules will be installed at select schools that currently do not have them over the next several months.
