JCSD Shows Improvements on State Report Cards
Each year, the Oregon Department of
Education releases report cards for schools
and districts throughout the State. These
reports are designed to let parents and
community members know how local
schools are performing in the areas of:
H student achievement
MHS
. MHS received “Outstanding” scores
in both academic achievement and
participation scores. Unfortunately, our
4-year graduation rate is still low causing '
. the overall school score to remain at “In
Need of Improvement.”

the right track.

“Outstanding” scores in both attendance
and participation and a “Satisfactory”
rating for achievement. The overall school

Next month, all students in the Jefferson
County School District will have access to free

healthy, balanced morning meal helps students
conieritrate and enjoy a more successful
| school day.
“We know that students do better in school
1 when they start"the day with a nutritious
meal,” said JCSD Superintendent Rick
Molitor. “The cost is minimal and the benefits
are great.”
Next year, JCSD will make free breakfast ■
and lunch available to all students as well.

is beginning soon at the Westside
Building. Classes offered in the fall session
include French, English Conversation
