For the 2026-27 school year, the Board of Directors approved starting school BEFORE Labor Day, on August 31, 2026 in order to facilitate the earlier end date of June 9, 2027. The new Molalla River Middle School will open in September 2027 and ample time is needed for staff to move classrooms, the old building to be abated and demolished, new parking and bus lanes to be installed and the final stages of the school to be completed. We want to provide sufficient time for staff and contractors to complete this exciting project. Starting BEFORE Labor Day will be invaluable and will only be for the 2026-27 school year. We will return to a post Labor Day start in 2027-2028.

The safety of our students, staff, and any community members in school is our priority. To ensure we communicate with families and share accurate information, we want you to know what occurred today.
At Molalla High School, a lockdown was accidentally initiated when a staff member unintentionally deployed their panic button at 12 pm. This was not a drill or expected; it was a human error. All staff and students promptly responded following our protocols.
The Molalla Police promptly confirmed it was an accidental alarm trigger and began releasing classrooms following protocol. Students and staff returned to regular schedules and activities by 1:05pm.
We realize that any such event is stressful. We are working directly with the alert company, our technology director and district office administrators, and Molalla Police Department to implement necessary adjustments to reduce human error.
We believe that the overall safety of students and staff is worth the investment into working through these challenges.

MRSD Social Studies Curriculum Adoption
Molalla River School District has engaged in an extensive vetting process of instructional materials for Social Studies. We coordinated teams of teachers and staff in reviewing materials that the Oregon Department of Education has identified as high quality based on the Oregon Instructional Materials Evaluation Toolkit (OR-IMET) rubric. The teams used specific criteria and district instructional priorities to select the programs that best meet the needs of our students. We seek public feedback to help our School Board finalize their decision.
Materials: https://www.molallariverschools.org/page/curriculum-adoption
We ask willing community members to review these materials and give feedback to our school board. The school board will consider public comment as it decides whether to accept the recommendations of the adoption committees.
Feedback Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScZhYmJedJNSommkVF90kT-G914eXFRnPxl4b9FSyisiSug8A/viewform
