NEW SCHOOL YEAR NEWS

The 2019-2020 school year will see changes in the school district, like a new principal and assistant principal at the high school, and a new principal at Bridges.

At the Warm Springs Academy the new principal is Bambi Van Dyke.  Principal Van Dyke comes to Warm Springs from Montana, where she was principal at the St. Charles Mission School, located by the Crow Reservation near Billings.  Ms. Van Dyke is originally from Walla Walla, and also lived in Gresham and South Carolina before moving to Montana about 10 years ago.  Her first day of work as the new K8 Principal was Monday (8/26/19).

In other Warm Springs K8 Academy developments: the school will be the new location for the Boys & Girls Club of Warm Springs.  They will remain in their current location at the Youth Center for the first couple weeks of school, providing after school care as usual – allowing them time to transition to new space at the K8.  The Boys & Girls Club office will be in a classroom in the school’s outer building previously used to house 5th grade classrooms.

The Club will be coordinating with the 21st Century Learning Program along with other community partners live the Culture & Heritage Program, Youth Wellness and OSU Extension to provide seamless programming for youth after school, on no school days, during school vacations, and over the summer.  You can learn more about signing up for the Club and the 21st Century learning program at the Back to School BBQ on Thursday 8/29/19, at the Warm Spring K-8 Academy.
