Baker County families - there are still a few spots remaining for our upcoming virtual Conscious Discipline class. See our recent post for more info 😊

A child who feels safe makes different choices than a child who doesn't. Not because they're a different child, because they're in a different state.

Safety isn't a reward for good behavior. It's the condition that makes good behavior possible.

Our liaisons in Eastern Oregon are working hard to prevent child abuse! Together, we can make our communities safer ❤️

We're happy to share information from Stop It Now! about how parents, educators, and caregivers can help keep kids safer.

Most parents want to protect their kids from sexual abuse — but many don’t know how to start the conversation.

That’s why this episode of the Masterful Parenting Podcast matters.

Our own Jenny Coleman, MA, LMHC, joined host Anne Alvares -Parent Coach, Author, Mother - to talk about how parents, educators, and caregivers can help keep kids safer through early, open, shame-free conversations.

They discuss:
→ Why teens need confidential spaces to ask hard questions
→ What the latest What’s OK? Impact Briefing reveals about today’s teens
→ How early education helps prevent abuse before it happens
→ Practical language parents can use without fear or shame
→ How to help young people recognize warning signs and know where to turn

Please share with a parent, educator, or school counselor in your network. Prevention starts with conversations like this one.

Building Healthy Families will be there! We hope to see you on August 3rd from 8am-8pm 😁

Baker School District is returning to required in-person registration for the 2026-27 school year!

In-person registration will be held on August 3rd from 8am- 8pm and August 4th from 8am-12pm.

If your child will be attending Brooklyn Primary, Haines Elementary, South Baker Intermediate, Eagle Cap Innovative Jr/Sr High School, or Baker High School (BHS), plan to attend in-person registration in the BHS Commons on August 3rd or August 4th.

Baker Middle School will host registration the same days and times in the BMS gym.

Due to summer construction delays, Haines Elementary registration will be held at BHS on August 3rd (no longer also at Haines Elementary on August 4th).

Keating Elementary will host in-person registration on-site at Keating from 7am-6pm on August 3rd.

Baker Early Learning Center (BELC) for kindergartners held registration in the spring, but will be available to support new students with the registration process - please reach out to BELC at 541-524-2310.

If your family will be unable to attend this registration event, please call your school office (numbers below) after August 3rd for an alternate way to register. If you have questions about in-person registration before August 3rd, please contact the district office at 541-524-2260.

As with previous years, school supplies will be provided for students in grades K-6. Just bring a backpack and water bottle to school, and please let the district office know if you could use help with either of those items, as well.

🚨 Smoke & Air Quality Advisory 🚨
Due to the fires in our area, smoke levels have created unhealthy air quality throughout our community. Everyone is encouraged to limit outdoor activity, especially children, older adults, pregnant individuals, and those with heart or lung conditions.
😷 Free N95 masks are available at the Baker County Health Department while supplies last.
🏛️ Need a break from the smoke? The local library is open as a clean-air and cooling location, providing a safe indoor space to escape the smoke and breathe cleaner, filtered air.
Please help spread the word, check in on neighbors and loved ones, and take steps to protect yourself from smoke exposure. Stay informed about local air quality conditions, and if you experience severe difficulty breathing, chest pain, or other concerning symptoms, seek medical care immediately.
Stay safe, Baker County.
