Bohemia Elementary School Home

Thank you for your patience and flexibility with this entire coronavirus/COVID-19 situation. As you probably know, late Thursday night, Governor Kate Brown directed all Oregon schools to close March 16th through March 31st, with students returning April 1st. Also late on Thursday, district administrators noticed that we had an abnormally large number of substitute requests for Friday the 13th, which would have made daily operations difficult for students and staff. With that information, district administration decided to close our schools. All events, performances, functions, competitions and meetings will continue to be canceled through April 8th.

We hope that even in these are trying and stressful times, that you and your family are well. We wanted to take this opportunity to reach out and communicate how we will continue to serve your student(s). As many of you have heard, the school closure has been extended to April 28th. This action by the governor aligns with other measures across the state, which are all meant to slow the spread of the virus. This closure may be extended or shortened by the governor based on the numbers affected by the virus. We have been directed to provide several services:

All SLSD schools will be closed tomorrow, Friday March 13th due to the coronavirus concern. Admin, supervisors, and office managers please report to your buildings.

With the number of confirmed coronavirus COVID-19 cases in Oregon increasing, Governor Kate Brown announced new guidance regarding group gatherings and social distancing. We remain committed to keeping our schools open and safe. In accordance with this guidance and in order to minimize potential opportunities for the virus to spread, we will begin suspending events that bring large groups of students, adults, and community members together. This action is not related to an identified COVID-19 case. At this time, there are no cases identified in South Lane School District or in Lane County.
