Inclement Weather
November 26th, 2019 by Amy ShipleySchool closure and delay information
Student safety is a priority for the Central Point School District. When inclement weather strikes, our First Student manager, Deena Engberg, and I are in nearly constant communication. She is out on the roads by 4:00 am to determine bus transportation safety. I am also in communication with the National Weather Service officials and other valley superintendents to share information about road conditions and weather forecasts. Ultimately, we determine whether or not it is safe to transport students to and from our schools.
In some cases, schools remain open, but buses operate on “snow routes” (click here to see snow routes). In other cases, conditions seem great in town, but are poor enough in rural areas to warrant a delay or closure.
In the event that inclement weather strikes and schools are delayed or closed, this is the communication protocol:
- District 6 staff will be notified immediately via email.
- The District 6 website and the D6 FaceBook page will be updated within 15 minutes of staff notification.
- All local media (television and radio) will be notified.
First Student has already prepared for winter driving conditions by training all drivers in safe driving procedures for rain, snow, fog and icy road conditions. They also all attended a refresher course on October 25th in chaining procedures and inclement weather driving. Also, all higher elevation routes have buses with automatic drop chains.
Should you have questions or concerns about our inclement weather procedures, please contact me at samantha.steele@district6.org or by phone at 541.494.6201 (office) 541.840.5644 (cell).
Sams Valley Elementary Update
November 6th, 2019 by adminLate this afternoon, we started having some issues with our pump on our well. Maintenance worked diligently throughout the night and determined at 8:00 PM that the pump needs to be replaced. I have been assured that the well will be fully functional by Thursday.
This will leave us needing to function for part or all of the school day tomorrow without the well, but we will have water. While it will be slightly disruptive to some of our normal routine, there will be very little change to the classroom environment. We believe that attendance at school is vital for student learning and the staff is committed to minimizing any interference with the normal schedule. Besides drinking from water bottles, washing their hands at hand sanitizing stations, and possibly using portable toilets, students will have a normal day at school.
Our storage tank is currently partially full (and filling at a very, very, slow rate overnight) and in the event it runs dry we will have 12 portable restrooms and multiple hand sanitizing stations delivered in the morning. Bottled water will be available for staff and students and the food service staff will be able to bring in water to serve both breakfast and lunch.
As always, we believe you know your child best, so please proceed as you feel comfortable. If you feel it’s best to keep your child home, we respect your decision. If you feel like your child can handle these accommodations, than we would love to see them here in the morning! For those children that still attend tomorrow, they are welcome to bring their own water bottles, but please know we will have bottled water available for them. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office at 541-494-6870.

School Safety Survey for SVE
September 4th, 2019 by adminIf you received the following email with the subject “Important–Please Read”, please know that his is a legitimate email from Sams Valley Elementary. We apologize for the confusion regarding this being sent out. Here’s the body of that email:
“In an effort to improve school safety and to gather some important information that did not happen with our new online registration, please fill out this quick Google form: https://forms.gle/fmWtJQ38mn2DtSJT9
I apologize that this form was not included as part of the registration process. However, this form will help us know how your child is getting home each day and will help us ensure that your child is safe while under our care. It is very important and will only take a couple of minutes. We need this information as soon as possible. Thanks!”
Thank you.
2017-2018 Report Cards
August 7th, 2019 by Amy ShipleyOregon School and District Report Cards
Annually, the state of Oregon assesses school and district performance based upon metrics including student attendance, graduation, and standardized test performance. While standardized testing is not our purpose in District 6, we do pay attention to that data as one indicator of our performance. Other data such as graduation rates and attendance rates are reviewed at the school and district level to identify areas of success and areas of challenge. Please see links to the report cards here:
