💙🐾 Welcome Back, Sutherlin! 🐾💙
From kindergarten to senior year, our first week was filled with smiles, friendships, and fresh starts. We loved seeing brothers and sisters, new friends, and solo smiles—all ready for an amazing school year.
Our classrooms and hallways are full again, and it feels so good to have our students back! Take a look through the collage—so many happy faces (and see if you can spot the one little grumpy gus hiding among the smiles 😉).
We are so grateful to live, learn, and grow in this community. 💫 Thank you, families, for sharing your amazing kids with us—we love having our students back!
Here’s to a bright 2025–2026 school year, Go Bulldogs! 📚✨

#SutherlinStrong #BackToSchool #WeLoveOurStudents
One of the greatest joys of working in a school district is watching our students grow up right before our eyes. From the excitement of kindergarten to the pride of graduation, it is a true privilege to walk alongside them throughout their K–12 journey. Every year brings new milestones, challenges, and celebrations, and we are grateful to share in those moments with our students and families. Have a great year, Riley!
We are off to an amazing start! We kicked off the year by honoring our great nation and proudly displaying American Flags across our schools. Here’s to a fantastic year filled with learning, growth, and Bulldog pride! 🐾💙 Go Bulldogs! 💪🎉
🚸 Safety first! Sutherlin School District has installed new crosswalk signs and flashers in front of the High School and Middle School. These upgrades help keep our students safe every day. 💙🐾 Go Bulldogs!

🚌 School Bus Safety: Let’s Keep Our Students Safe!
As we begin the new school year, we want to remind our entire community to help keep our students safe as they travel to and from school.
✅ Drivers — Please Remember:
🚸 Slow down near school zones and bus stops
🚫 STOP when the red lights are flashing and the stop arm is out
⏱️ Be patient — student safety is worth the wait
🔁 Never pass a school bus on the right
👀 Watch for students crossing the street, especially in early mornings and afternoons
🧒 Families — Please Review with Students:
🟡 Wait in a safe place away from the road
🟡 Always cross in front of the bus when loading or unloading
🟡 Listen to your bus driver — they’re there to keep you safe!
🟡 Stay seated and keep your hands and belongings inside the bus
📚 At Sutherlin Schools, safety is our top priority. Let’s work together—drivers, parents, students, and staff—to ensure every child arrives at school and home safely.
💙🐾 Thank you for helping us create a safe and respectful school community!
