R message from Rick molitor Superintendent Madras High School It’s hard to believe that May is here and we have less than two months left before Summer break. You have most likely heard that this month, residents of Jefferson County will vote on the school bond measure designed to fund a number of construction and upgrade projects within our school district. Our goal has been to provide you with as much factual information as possible so that you can make an informed decision when you complete your ballot. At this point, the most important thing is for the residents of our communities to remember to vote in the upcoming elections. Your vote is your voice and ballots are due by mail on May 15th. Tribal members will also be voting on a referendum that would contribute to the cost of construction for a new K-8 school building in Warm Springs. The referendum vote will take place on May 14th. If you have questions about the school bond, don’t hesitate to contact me at (541) 475-6192 ' or rmolitor@509i.net. Thank you for your interest in JCSD 509J. I look forward to hearing from you.

More than 25% of students are also “on the bubble” or nearly meeting reading and math standards. ‘‘Our teachers continue to fine-tune instructional strategies that best meet the needs of their individual students,” said DaWn Smith, principal for WSE. “We still have a lot of opportunity for growth, but we are excited to see the growth in the students’ self-motivation to succeed.” 445 SE Buff Street, madras, OR 97741 i (541)475-6192 i General Meeting at 7:00 p.m. uiuuu.jcsd.kl 2. or. us
