K-2 students at North Elementary got to start off learning about robotics by operating a Mega Cyborg Hand in the computer lab. We discussed different jobs robots could do for us, what materials they could be made out of, and what makes them operate. The Mega Cyborg Hand was purchased from Amazon for around $30 and adult assistance for assembly is recommended.
Kindergarten students at North Elementary are learning about the life cycle of butterflies by getting to watch the transformation happen in their classroom.
Update: Law enforcement has completed its investigation, and the reported threat to the high school is not considered credible. The school will exit lockdown and resume normal operations at 11:15 a.m. Law enforcement personnel will remain on campus for the rest of the day as a precaution. Parents who wish to pick up their students may do so after that time.
At 10:16 am on May 6, 2026, Omak High School received an anonymous phone call threatening to shoot up the school within 15 minutes. Both the Middle School and High School buildings are in lockdown. Emergency personnel and first responders are on the scene. Traffic in and out of the area is restricted, and you are asked to avoid this area until further notice. Additional information will be communicated to you as soon as it becomes available.

School bus drivers' training got a little more intense than usual
We simulated a “bus full of smoke” scenario to prepare drivers and staff for emergency situations. While it may look alarming, this hands-on training is critical to ensuring everyone knows exactly what to do if the unexpected happens.
From quick decision-making to safe evacuation procedures, our team stepped up and handled it like pros. Safety is always our top priority, and practices like this help protect what matters most, our students.
Huge thanks to everyone who participated and helped make this training a success!
