The second annual Dufur Outdoor School was a success! Two days of gaining new perspectives and finding value where we could not before. "Science indicates what can happen in natural systems; not what should happen. The latter involves human decisions about the use of knowledge."

The Dufur School District Bond Project is about to begin! We have had residents of Dufur request to remove sod from the football field prior to excavation. The answer is YES, on Saturday and Sunday, May 4 and 5, you may remove sod from the football field. The only guidelines are that you remove the sod at your own risk, and provide your own tools for the removal. Anyone interested in making a donation in exchange for the sod are encouraged to do so.
All the "kids" were ready for school today! Happy Friday.
Edward Jones Investments of the Dalles recently made a generous $ 600.00 dollar donation to the Jerri Walker DePriest Memorial Endowment Fund at Dufur High School. Thanks to Tara Donovan, Kathy Durham and Heather Runyon for this thoughtful donation!
Today DHS US history students watched as their Celilo Falls project was flooded just as it was in real life on March 10, 1957. Students felt empathy as they watched what they had worked so hard to build disappear.

The Dufur School District received information this morning that a student had made threats of harm to people at the school. When this information was received, the student in question was detained; the Wasco County Sheriff's office was notified immediately. The WCSO conducted a thorough investigation; the investigation confirmed that that the student had made comments as reported.
At no time were students in danger at Dufur School.
The student was cited, and has been suspended from school.
The Dufur School District takes the safety of our students and staff very seriously, regrets this situation arose and is glad that it has come to a conclusion.
The Greenhouse Aquaponics System (Hydroponics where the nutrient rich water is created by fish) is now producing more green leaf lettuce then the school cafeteria can use. Help us out by eating more.
Parents should have received the Dufur School climate survey in the mail by now. We would appreciate it if you take time to complete and return your survey. Your responses will be very helpful as we work on our Continuous Improvement Plan.
Today Linda Meanus of the Warm Springs Tribe visited DHS's US history class. Ms. Meanus grew up in the Celilo Village and, after obtaining a degree from Portland State University, she spends her time traveling to talk about her Native culture and its importance.
