North Wasco County School District 21

We are thrilled to share this year's success of our After School Academy (ASA), a grant-funded program dedicated to supporting our D21 students through a blend of academic enrichment, physical movement activities, STEM learning, and life skills enrichment through partnerships with our community.

This year, ASA proudly served 63 elementary and 37 high school students, providing a nurturing environment where every child can thrive and reach their fullest potential. 📚🔬💪

Our Summer Food Service Program Kicks-off this Thursday at TDMS! Our Mobile Route also launches next week. See flyer for additional times and locations.

🚌🌟Shout out to our amazing transportation team for driving over 143,000 miles this school year, safely getting our students to and from school every day! (This doesn't even include the 65,000+ miles in trips this year!)🎉 That's no small feat!

On average, our dedicated bus drivers collectively spend 67 hours on the road each school day 🚌💨

Let's give them a round of applause! 👏

Summer in Oregon just got more awesome thanks to Summer EBT! Summer EBT’s mission is to help get healthy meals to kids throughout the summer break from school. Eligible school-aged children will each get $120 for groceries this summer, and the program will renew each year.

If your household has an EBT card (Oregon Trail Card), your funds will be added to that card this summer. Otherwise, you’ll get a new card in the mail after you’ve been determined eligible.

Get more info at sebt.oregon.gov, and stay tuned for details on how to enroll. Let’s have a happy, healthy, and “full” summer!
