Important Update on Student Safety at Irrigon Junior-Senior High School: We want to inform you of a safety report that we received Sunday night at approximately 10:20pm. Irrigon Junior/Senior High School administration received a call from the Morrow County Sheriff’s office about their investigation of a social media post that a student was potentially planning to bring a firearm to school. Due to the quick and thorough response by the Sheriff’s Office the student was identified. Out of an abundance of caution, there will be increased Morrow County Sheriff’s deputy presence on Monday in Irrigon to ensure the safety of all students and staff throughout the school day. We are committed to the safety and wellbeing of every student at Irrigon Junior/Senior High School and all schools of Morrow County School district. We appreciate the quick and thorough response of the Morrow County Sheriff’s Office. This serves as an important reminder to all of us that if you see or hear something that could pose a safety risk, it is critical to speak up. Your vigilance helps keep our schools safe. Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping our school community safe.

If you or a child you know needs help getting to school, talk to your school counselor or administration. ¡Cada día cuenta! Estudiantes que asisten a la escuela regularmente tienen más probabilidades de tener éxito. Venir a la escuela con regularidad también ayuda a que alumnos se sientan conectados a sus compañeros y maestros.
