    📘 Wishram School – Week in Review & Next Week’s Schedule
    August 24 – August 30, 2025

    Week in Review
    First and foremost, we want to thank our Wishram Families for allowing us the privilege of teaching your children. It is truly an honor to partner with you in their growth, learning, and success. The smiles, energy, and support you bring to our school community make all the difference.

    What an exciting first week back!

    • Monday, August 25 – Our Certificated Staff started the year with a PLD Day. Training focused on MTSS, our new MAPS assessment system, and a powerful session from Rita Pinchot (ESD 112) on understanding and addressing our own trauma.

    • Tuesday, August 26 – Staff Directed Day. Administration reviewed safety policies and procedures, our school nurse covered medication protocols, and we ended the day with our Open House (4–6 PM). It was a great success, and fun was had by all!

    • Wednesday, August 27 – The first day of school for the 2025–26 year! We started with an all-school assembly at 8:00 AM where staff introduced themselves, we reviewed school rules (including our new bell-to-bell no cell phone policy), and students headed off to their first-period classes. A strong start with lots of smiles and new faces!

    • Wednesday & Thursday, August 27–28 – We received the first 50 cubic yards of Engineered Wood Chips (EWC) on Wednesday and another 50 cubic yards on Thursday. Our crew worked hard to spread them out quickly so we could open our brand-new playground.

    • Thursday, August 28 – JH Volleyball held a quick practice.

    • Friday, August 29 – 🎉 Grand Opening of the New Playground! Students got to enjoy the new space for the first time. We also capped the day with HS Football’s first game of the season at Dufur vs. Dufur, 7:00 PM.
