AJ Rourke-Smith is the OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR - 2026!
Congratulations again to our entire Ione Arlington Team for making it to the quarterfinals and also to our coaching staff for all the time, effort and dedication on and off the field. Let's keep this post season rolling. One game at a time. GO BIRDS!
Help your child enjoy a safe trip to and from school! Oregon law requires children under age 16 to wear an approved helmet when riding a bicycle or nonmotorized scooter on public roads and other areas open to the public. Electric scooter riders must wear a helmet at any age.
The Sheriff's Department has reminded us that riding without a required helmet may result in a citation. Please help your child wear a properly fitted, buckled helmet every ride.
Thank you for helping keep our students safe!
Supporting Safe Storage of Firearms in Our Community
Keeping students safe is a shared responsibility. Governor Tina Kotek has asked every Oregon school district to share firearm safety and safe storage guidance with families. Following the tragedy in the Bend-La Pine School District, the Oregon Department of Education and Oregon Health Authority created Keep Kids Safe: A Firearm Safety Guide for Oregon Parents and Caregivers.

Three simple steps:
Store firearms securely, and keep keys and combinations away from children.
Talk with your kids about the harm firearms can cause.
Speak up about threats or safety concerns.
Oregon law (ORS 166.395) requires firearms to be secured with a trigger or cable lock, in a locked container, or in a vault when not under an authorized person's control.
