Our middle school offers an elective called Geology of Oregon. This course focuses on the unique geology of Oregon and explores the physical geography in Oregon. The teacher providing the instruction is endorsed in Social Studies.

Our students attend our online school where they are working on all different classes. These are self-paced, online courses where the computer program builds the curriculum and provides the instruction. There is a staff member in the room monitoring the students.

We have a teacher on maternity leave for 3 months and we hired a substitute teacher who has a middle level math endorsement and is authorized to teach grades 5-9. The substitute will be teaching middle school and high school math.

Some of our students are taking an online Spanish class from a Blue Mountain Community College faculty member. The teacher has a master’s degree in Spanish. The community college sends us the grade which we add to the student’s grade/transcripts.
