LA GRANDE â The hallways and classrooms of La Grande High School are coming back to life.
Students returned to the high school for in-person instruction Thursday, Jan. 28 â the first time since mid-March of 2020 when the state closed all schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Changing state metrics for COVID-19 helped open the doors to real classrooms as opposed to virtual ones. The metrics also allowed in-person instruction to start again for students in grades seven and eight on Wednesday at La Grande Middle School. The districtâs kindergarten through sixth-grade students have been receiving in-person instruction since earlier this month.
