New Ways to Learn
fl message from Rich lllolitor
Superintendent
Last week was National
Teacher Appreciation
week, a time to celebrate
our JCSD 509J teachers
for the amazing work
they do each and every
day, all year long. We
are so very fortunate to
have this group of dedicated professionals
who genuinely care about the success and
well-being of our students. Our teaching
staff has been doing some extraordinary
work over the past several years to improve
learning and increase our state test scores.
Their efforts are clearly having an impact.
We see that our students are more engaged
and they are improving in all subject areas.
On behalf of the district and our school
board, I would like to thank our teachers
for their dedication and commitment to
education in Jefferson County.
MHS Summer School
It’s not too late to sign up for Summer
School. The deadline has been extended to
May 18th. Forms are available on the MHS
website or in the MHS Student Services office.
Mary Hawes works with a student in the
computer lab.
Students at the MHS Alternative
School program are thriving with an
online learning program called Stars Suite.
The program offers school credits to help
students earn a high school diploma.
Students work at their own pace, under
an individualized plan specific to their
learning needs and course requirements.
The online program is fully accredited and
meets State Core Curriculum standards.
It is offered at both the Westside Annex
in Madras and at the Annex in Warm
Springs. Last year, approximately 30
students graduated from high school with
help from Stars Suite. There are currently
65 students enrolled in the program. •
“We believe in providing our students
with a variety of alternative learning
options,” said Gary Carlton, Director of
Alternative Programs. “We want them
to be successful and comfortable in their
learning environment. We’re fortunate
to have two great computer labs and
dedicated staff to help meet their online
learning needs.”
Jefferson County School District
Outdoor Science Camp
Sparks Interest
In early May, fourth and fifth graders
from Warm Springs Elementary attended
an outdoor science camp at the 4-H center
in Salem, Oregon. These students are
part of the afterschool SMILE (Science &C
Math Investigative Learning Experiences)
club. SMILE club students from Nyssa,
Ontario, Siletz, and Pendleton shared
the experience and created opportunities
for WSE students to make new friends.
Students worked on field studies in the
areas of water, animal life, plant life, and
geology. All of the students greatly enjoyed
evenings at the campfire learning new
songs and performing skits. Everyone
had a great time, despite the fact it rained
nearly the entire time!
MHS Transitional Program students enjoy and learn
in a community garden at Westside School.
Planting Seeds for Independence
District students ages 16 through 21 are
growing through a “hands on” community
garden project at Westside School’s MHS
Transitional Program. The garden is part of
a larger program that provides students with
occupational skill learning and basic education
to help them prepare for adulthood and
independent living.
