Music in our World -l1 ' S ' 1» Highest District Level Reading Results «2008 09 « 2009-10 » 2010-11 79 Leadership Corner fimessagefrom Rick IMitor Superintendent We’re starting this school year with some great news. Our district reading scores are improving dramatically and we are so excited to see the 3rd=13% Growth 4th=7% Growth 6th=26% Growth hard work of our students, staff and teachers paying off. As most of you know, Read-to-Succeed has been a major focus for us over the past several years. We’ve been working harder than ever to better understand reading instruction and provide the support needed to help each and every student learn to read at grade level or higher. While we still have a ways to go, our progress has been amazing. There are several reasons for this success: 1) our teachers and staff are focused on reading instruction and engaging students in the classroom; 2) our students are working harder; and 3) our School Board, parents and families are providing kids with the support and encouragement they need to be successful readers. While most of our students are showing reading progress, we continue to identify our challenges and are focusing our attention on making the needed adjustments and improvements to succeed. N ot only have we seen growth in our reading levels, we are also using the success of our reading focus to improve in other areas such as Writing, M ath and Science. We thank you for your support and look forward to more success moving forward. As always, I welcome your input and feedback. Stop by my office or call anytime. 445 Jefferson County School District MHS = 40% Growth JCSD is proud to announce a new partnership to expand music education in our local schools. Ethos M usic Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion of music and music based education for youth in rural communities, has been awarded an AmeriCorps and Oregon Volunteers grant. Thanks to the help of parent and community member Jill Plant, our district will have three AmeriCorps members bringing additional music instruction to all of our class rooms. Two Ethos AmeriCorp members are currently working in our schools. Laurel Crafton is working with students at Buff Intermediate and Sarah Goff is at Jefferson County Middle School. A third AmeriCorp member will be joining us soon. The intent is to provide general music to all of our elementary students, vocal music at our middle school along with possible support at M adras High School and the Kids Club. This is an exciting opportunity for our district. Ethos was officially organized in 1998 by a dedicated group of volunteer staff and instructors. The first classes were offered in the basement of the Univer sity of Portland. Since that time, the organization has moved (and purchased) a North Portland location and has grown to become one of Oregon’s largest arts education sources. Welcome and thank you to Ethos for giving us something to sing about! The intent is to provide Calendar general music to all o f our September elementary students, 9/22 Meotlius Elementary Open House (grades K-5) 6:00 p.m. 9/22 M adras Primary Open House (grades K-2) 6:00 p.m. 9/26 2-hour late start 9/26 509-J Board Meeting Buff Intermediate 7:00 p.m. vocal music at our middle school along with possible support a t M adras High School and the Kids Club.
