Our plans will be flexible based on Mother Nature, but generally we will adopt the "no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing" attitude. When it's wet and cold, it's really important that the students have a rain jacket, base layer and water resistant footwear.
There is a free bus to bring your child home anywhere in the district at 5:20pm from the Hood River Middle School
Students will have fun taking walks (skateboarding optional) or bike rides to their favorite places around Hood River with a musical soundtrack of their own choosing. They will help plan the route, ride or walk to the destination and receive a treat or gift card from local businesses they visit. Along the way, we will learn the laws and etiquette for walking and biking and how to navigate or avoid tricky intersections. They will also learn to have a sense of direction and the safest routes for getting around town. We will map out their home, the school, friend’s houses and major landmarks.
