Principal Jane Westergaard-Nim

away letter to the community. The
letter follows:
To parents and community mem
bers of Warm Springs,
During the last five years I have
had the unmistakably exceptional
experience of being principal of
Warm Springs Elementary. Why
do I think it has been so spectacular?
Your children possess a wonderfully
honest and witty view of the world.
Regardless of the circumstances, I
have been able to count on the
children to work together to plan
improvements to our school pro
gram or to apply creative problem
solving strategies to resolve con
flicts. Yes, we do have problems
that challenge our progress but, we
also have children who possess an
optimism which moves them to
work together to create a better
world for all.
I believe that there is no school
that has greater potential than
Warm Springs Elementary. The
staffs level of dedication and moti
vation to create an exemplary

Tribe installs new

Preparing the Confederated
Tribes for the twenty-first century
communications is a soon-to-be
installed phone system, the Sentra

system is inexpensive and is in
tended for the tribal organization,
not residences. The Tribe will replace
the current Pacific Northwest Bell
phone system, including wires and
equipment, with U.S. West Com
munications equipment. U.S. West
recently upgraded their system,
switching to digital equipment
rather than rotary dial, because of
fiber optics.

Training programs
implement changes
The Pre-Entry Level Work Pro
gram resumed operations May 10,
1989. Changes in both the Job
Training Partnership Act (JTPA)
and Pre-Entry programs have been
implemented.
Changes in the JTPA and Pre
Entry programs include:
1. The hourly pay rate will
increase 50 per hour; from $3.35
per hour to $3.85 per hour in both
programs, effective July 1, 1989.
2. Pre-requisites are now neces
sary before a person is placed in a
job so that certain things are taken
care of before placement. It is
important to be on the job as much
as possible, thus the following
criteria must be met before place
ment. a. An intake must be com
pleted so that the office can help
develop an Employability Devel
opment Plan (EDP). The purpose
of the intake is to determine cur
rent skills, education, past work
experience, employment barriers,
and to help determine eligibility.
b. GED tests must be com
pleted to help meet future job
requirements as most jobs require
at least a high school diploma or
GED. When this is done before
placement it is done and out of the
way. Past program experience has
shown that this seems to get done
very slowly or not at all when a
person has been allowed to start a
job before the GED is completed.
c. Applicant must complete
career and personality assessments.
Both of these only take an hour or
so to do.
3. The duration of a training slot
in the Pre-Entry Program has
changed from 12 months to six
months. The duration of a training
slot in the JTPA program has
increased from three months to six
months.
4. The work programs are expect
ing participants to utilize and or
follow through with available
resource services to help them
reduce or eliminate barriers to full-
The morning session of day two
of the conference will begin at 9
a.m. and continue until 12 noon.
To be included in the morning's
discussions will be difficult issues
we all face, such as child abuse,
sexual abuse, violence and acci
dents, AIDS, FAS, suicide and
effects of drugs on childbirth. A
panel, consisting of three or four
local youth, will discuss the youth
perspective on alcohol and drug
problems and the impact of peer
pressure, how young people feel
trapped, what youth want from
their parents and why some youth
move away from their family at a
young age.
Participants ill break into small

effect Monday, June 19. The New
Administration and tribal Court
buildings will be the first areas to
be switched over to the new system.
The following week, other depart
ments will be included, building by
building. Part of the renovation
includes new touch tone phones
that will be installed.
Due to this change all extension
numbers will be changed to 553
numbers and each phone will have
a different number. If a call from

time employment. Participants are
encouraged to take more responsi
bility for control of their destiny in
meeting goals and preparation for
the future.
This means all participants are
expected to be willing and ready to
work and learn; show up for work
each day 10 minutes early; be pro
ductive with their eight hours;
attend and participate in classroom
training; be cooperative with the
worksite team; be ready to take on
the challenge of helping themselves.
Participants who may not succeed
in completing the program and
training may not be ready or com
mitted to "work" yet.
5. Supportive Services: The work
programs will help subsidize child
care by the following formula.
Forty percent (40) of a
monthly child care bill must be
paid by the participant "up front"
with proof of the total bill and
payment (a receipt) provided to the
program office so payment arran
gements can be made for the re
maining60 percent of the bill. This
is subject to change. Child care
financial subsidy is available for no
more than five months per partici
pant in one of the two programs. It
is available only to those eligible
participants who do not qualify for
child care assistance from the state
adult and family services.
Previously, only JTPA offered
child care assistance which picked
up 100 percent. Now the partici
pants will be required to contribute
for the care of their children.
A participant's progress will be
monitored to ensure that the train
ing plan and job description are
being followed by both the trainee
and the supervisor. Financial incen
tives for the trainee are also being
considered.

Training Services at 553-1 161,
