Requested at
Tribal Offices
Tribal clients and visitors are
reminded that when they are seeking
services or requesting information at tribal
offices, they need to remain courteous to
tribal staff at all times.
Recently, there have been several
incidents where tribal member clients
behaved in a manner that was threatening
and abusive. Tribal staff operates under a
code of conduct requiring courtesy
toward others, and this same code of
conduct is expected of tribal
member clients.
Anyone failing to conduct
themselves in a proper manner may be
banned from tribal offices and services
until they can comply with this
expectation.

LCSD to Conduct Student Survey
During the week of Oct. 2-6, the Lincoln County School District will conduct a very
important study on the needs, attitudes, and behaviors of students in grades six through
12. This is being done in collaboration with the Lincoln Commission on Children and Families.
The survey is titled Search Institute Profiles of Student Life: Attitudes and Behaviors.
Most people refer to it as the “Assets Survey.” It will provide schools and the community
with a wide range of information, such as how students spend their time, their perceptions
of school and community life, and their participation in risk-taking/self-destructive behaviors.
Survey results will be used to help with community planning for services and activities to
support our youth.
By answering the survey, Lincoln County youth will have a direct voice in community
planning. The results are for use in Lincoln County and not part of any other national or
statewide survey.
In order for your child to participate, you must sign and return the consent form your
child will bring home after school starts. If no consent form is received, your child cannot
participate in the survey.
If you have any questions about the survey, contact Jill Dale, Lincoln Commission
on Children and Families, at 541-265-4114, or in North Lincoln County at
541-765-2177, ext. 4114.
