goals for 1986-87 progress
report
The staff and students are con
tinuing to work towards achieving
our goals. As I told you in a pre
vious newsletter, the teachers and I
continue to meet twice each month
to discuss our progress and develop
new strategies for meeting each
goal. The following is a summary
of our progress.
1 .0 Increase family involvement in
school activities

achieved their goal of having 100

class involved in at least one school
activity. All of the classes will con
tinue to invite family members to
participate in their class and all
school activities. Please check our
"Calendar of Events" and see if
there are activities in which you
could participate. On May 15, the
students will be participating in the
national "Just Say No" to drugs
and alcohol event. At noon, the
children will be lining up at the
WSE track to run or walk a mile to
advertise their commitment to "Just
Say No." You are welcome and
encouraged to attend this event.
Many parents guardians are
stopping by to check on their child's
progress. Parents guardians are al
ways welcome at school and should
not hesitate to stop by to talk to a
teacher.
2.0 Improve student academic per
formance in a targeted area.
Each grade level has chosen one
area to emphasize this year. Below
you will find a list of those areas
that are getting extra attention at
each grde level: First grade vo
cabulary and speaking in complete
sentences; second grade writing
sentences; third grade language;
fourth grade vocabulary and
punctuation; and, fifth grade vo
cabulary. Every two weeks the teachers in
each grade level sit down together
and plan what they will do for the
next two weeks to give students
extra practice in these areas. On
Friday, May 1, your child should
have given you the results of the
CAT (California Achievement
Test). Currently, the staff is analyz
ing those results to determine what
progress was made in the above
areas. Although we have not com
pleted a detailed analysis of the
scores, there is an overall upward
trend in the children's performance.
We are very proud of how hard the
students have worked this year and
are pleased with these results.
3.0 Establish a Warm Springs Pre
vention Team which meets weekly
to monitor student attendance and
develop ways to solve attendance
problems.
During our April Awards Assem
bly, we presented the third quarter's
Feather Awards for regular atten
dance. This award is given to stu
dents who missed no more than
three days during the quarter. We
presented this award to 181 stu
dents. Our apreciation goes out to
all of thechildrens'family members
w ho help them to get to school on
time every day.
4.0 Develop programs for improv
ing students' writing
During April the fourth graders
took the first state test on writing.
Eight Madras High School stu
dents were selected to attend the
United National Indian Youth
(UNITY) conference May 1-4 in

are just now completing the "Elder's
Project." In this project five elders
from the community worked with
the first and second grade classes to
help with the drug and alcohol
education program, "Here's Look
ing At You." These folks each
attended four sessions with a class
room. While in the classroom, they
assisted the teacher with the lesson
and gave their thoughts, advice
and encouragement to the child
ren. It was a wonderful experience
for the children. Many thanks goes
to the follwoing elders for their
special contributions to our drug
and alcohol education program:
Lizzy Rhoan Dawn Smith's first
grade; Lillian and Alvin Smith
Donna Rodgers and Russell Kais

7.0 Develop classroom activities
for teaching Indian culture through
out the curriculum.
During the first week in June,
the children will be receiving in
struction in Indian dance. Each
year, Dave Jordan coordinates this
program, where community peo
ple help us to teach Indian dance to
all of the children. At the end of the
week we have scheduled a mini
powwow. It will begin at 1:15 p.m.
and be over when the children go
home at 3:20. Please plan to attend
this end-of-the-year celebration.
The children have had a great year
at school and there is much to
celebrate.
