Parents of Kindergarteners or struggling First Grade and Second Grade readers:
Tutoring kits are available and include a set of supplies and lessons to use at home between now and the start of school.
There are 30 lessons that take only 10-15 minutes each, so there is still time to get through the whole thing with a little daily practice between now and September. Please contact Jess Hagedorn at hagedoj@eou.edu

INCIDENT AT GRH CONSTRUCTION SITE
This is an update to the release from Wednesday, July 5th, 2023 at 07:16am about the individual threatening self-harm at the GRH construction site.
After nearly six hours of negotiations, at approximately 10:45am, unfortunately, the individual jumped from the crane tower. Within moments emergency medical personnel began rendering aid and transported the individual to the Grande Ronde Hospital Emergency Department. He has since been transported by air to an out of area hospital.
An investigator from La Grande PD was in contact with the individual’s family throughout the situation. Out of respect for this individual and his family, his identity will not be released.
A coordinated effort between the first responder community, Center for Human Development, Grande Ronde Hospital, and the La Grande School District has been initiated to ensure assistance is provided to staff who may have been impacted by this incident.
We urge anyone who witnessed this incident and feels the need to talk to someone, to please contact the Center for Human Development crisis line at 541-962-8800.
The hearts and minds of the members of the La Grande Police Department are with the impacted family. We are also extremely grateful for the professional assistance received from members of the La Grande Fire Department, La Grande Rural Fire Department, Union County Emergency Services, Union County Search and Rescue, Center for Human Development, La Grande Public Works Department, Grande Ronde Hospital, La Grande School District, and the Bouten Construction Company.
