Increase in Hepatitis cases
forces change in policy
Due to a rather significant
increase in reported cases of
hepatitis in our area, we have
been advised by Jefferson County
health officials to: 1. Prohibit
students from bringing home
baked goods to school to be
shared with others; 2. Prohibit
students from sharing their
home-prepared lunches with each
other; 3. Encourage frequent
and thorough handwashing, espe
cially before eating or handling
food.
Salad materials and baked
goods are the most common
transmitters of the virus because
of the frequent handling involved
with their preparation and
serving.
In the past, we have relied a
great deal on home-baked goods
for fundraisers (e.g. desserts for
our spaghetti feed) and other
events. Parents have been espe
cially gracious and generous.
Therefore, it is our hope that
this ban is temporary and will
be lifted when the problem sub
sides. Safety belt law now in effect

needs work.
Calica sees the need to offer a
.program to help school-age
mothers to be successful in school.
Education must still be encou
raged right along with the new
paternal responsibility.
; More Indian personnel in the
district schools would be benefi
cial, she continues. There needs
to be someone in the school
building for students to seek out
if necessary.
In her capacity as community
school consultant Calica's responsi
blities cover a wide range of
activities from home visits to
monitoring county agencies while
working with students.
She assists the superintendent
in developing orientation ses
sions for school staffs, helping
to avoid any negative impacts
and to help explain social tribal
values and cultural differences.
Calica is involved in career
planning and placement and
she helps in suggesting strategies
to encourage class participation.
When problems arise affecting
a student's work she will become
involved. Parents, too, who have
concerns may visit with her to
discuss the student's work. She
assures, confidentiality will be
maintained.
"We want the school to be
viewed as helping," explains
Calica. We want to "help prevent
negative experiences or to look
at these experiences in a more
productive way."

cludes, "I am a service person

dents." and under. Be a eood example.

Update
Student Management has al
ways been a major concern at
Madras Junior High School.
Because we believe in a positive
approach to the management of
student behavior, discipline is
treated as an educational situa
tion. It has been our objective
that students be allowed to learn
from their individual mistakes.
We recognize that students need
to have predictability and need
to know the limits that we impose
on the behavior.
We are committed to provide
a structured and orderly
atmosphere in which students
learn. We make every effort to
inform students of our expecta
tions and provide them with
positive reinforcement when they
behave as expected. Disciplinary
action,-when administered, is
firm, yet fair.
A student management plan
was developed and implemented.
One major focus was to attempt
to decrease out-of-school suspen
sions. The following statistics
will indicate our goal to decrease
suspensions in term of what has
occurred within a four school
year period. 1982-83: 1 14 suspen
sions; 1983-84: 69 suspensions;
1984-85: 41 suspensions; 1985
86: 5 suspensions (through the
1st semester only).
As you can see, our out-of-school
suspensions have been
decreasing. It is our goal to keep
our students in school and we
offer other alternatives to suspen
sions. With parental support.
this plan seems to be working.
Theatrical event scheduled
MJHS has several upcoming
t-i r- 1
theatrical evenis . nC ra aa
classes will be presenting their
class projects tor tne puonc
living, cultural and social activi
ties.
We also plan fun activities
such as a three day white water
rafting trip down the Deschutes
River in Central Oregon. This
trip is designed to build self-confidence.
Those students who are
interested in the possibilities of
a health career will find this
program very beneficial. Statis
tics show that students complet
ing a summer science program
excel academically and have a
higher college retention rate.
