Congrats to Austin Sturza (19th Place) and Logan Sturza (26th Place) as they both qualify for the State XC meet in Pasco, Washington. Good Work Austin and Logan.
Due to ongoing construction on Highway 508, which is causing longer than usual delays, some bus routes may experience delays in dropping off students. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.

Good Evening,
I wanted to let you know about an event that occurred this afternoon that caused our district to lockdown and then subsequently evacuate.
At approximately 3:45 one of our staff members observed an individual with what appeared to be a rifle or long barreled weapon of some kind walking across the front of the campus before walking in the direction leading away from the District. The staff member immediately contacted the nearest available District employee and reported the information. At that time the District Secretary then contacted myself and our Elementary Principal. After a quick assessment, we phoned law enforcement and directed remaining administrators at the middle school to lock down until we could determine next steps. Law enforcement were in the area within minutes and saw nothing in the immediate proximity of the school. Knowing that, we asked both High School and Elementary/Middle school Administrators to evacuate the buildings and cancel all remaining evening activities in an abundance of caution.
At approximately 5:15, a Deputy contacted me to let me know that an individual had been located and contacted. The weapon that the individual was carrying has been determined to be a pellet gun. Thankfully, we now know that students and staff were never in any real danger. However, we acted with the information we had at the time. We are thankful for the quick actions of our staff members, and the amazingly quick and thorough response from the Lewis County Sheriff's Office.
Thank you and have a good evening,
Brenda Padgett, Superintendent
