In February, 10 individual focus group sessions were held and attended by about 75 people, including district staff, students, and parents, as well as representatives from public safety groups, the healthcare community, local businesses and non- profi t organizations. The district also posted ques- tions on its website and received responses from an additional 70 people. The questions asked respondents what the dis- trict is doing well, the areas that need improvement and what they personally believe is the most import- ant work of public educa- tion. Team members pre- sented the focus group data to the school board in March. Using the information and insight collected, the team homed in on a few core values held by the commu- nity that formed the foun- dation of the strategic plan. These core values state the school district is committed to providing equitable, safe learning environments; an engaging-well-rounded edu- cation; and a focus on col- lective wellness and com- munity partnerships. The strategic plan also includes a district mission statement: “strengthening community, inspiring pos- sibility, ensuring opportu- nity.” The vision statement further explains, “In partner- Continued from Page A1 Helping Hands now oper- ate 11 emergency homeless shelter and reentry pro- gram facilities, providing up to 190 beds per night in Clatsop, Tillamook, Yam- hill and Lincoln counties. The new Seaside prop- erty is owned by the state Department of Transpor- offer information regarding advance directives and phy- sician orders for life-sus- taining treatment,” she said. “The goal is to help people remain in their home safely.” The interdisciplinary team provides assistance and infor- mation about medical alerts and mobile medical alerts and medications management; transportation to doctor’s visits; senior peer outreach; senior peer mentoring. The program offers safety assess- ments to minimize the risk of falls, as “every patient is at the risk of falling,” she said. Services do not include housekeeping or laundry. “Most of the patients are independent people,” French-Peterson said. “We tation and leased for $150 a month. Repairs include a new kitchen, bathrooms and fl ooring, Russell said. “We’re actually going to be increasing our capacity at that facility with this ren- ovation,” she said. “We’re trying to add as many beds as we can to meet the needs of the homeless in this area.” Katherine Lacaze/For Seaside Signal District superintendent Sheila Roley addresses the Seaside School District board of directors on Thursday, Dec. 13. ‘WE NEED TO KNOW OUR KIDS IN KINDERGARTEN ARE ON TRACK TO GRADUATE, AND IF INTERVENTIONS NEED TO BE MADE, WE NEED TO START DAY ONE.’ District superintendent Sheila Roley ship with our coastal com- munity, all of our students pursue excellence as pas- sionate, empowered, lifelong learners.” The plan only contains two substantial strategic goals, but as Roley pointed out they are measurable and feasible. “We want things that are focused and sustainable and aren’t just a fl ash in the pan,” she said. The fi rst strategic goal is that by June 2024, all stu- dents will be on track to grad- uate and be prepared with a plan beyond high school. “We need to know our kids in kindergarten are on track to graduate, and if interventions need to be made, we need to start day one, because if you’re start- ing when they’re 14 or 15 years old, there is a lot of lost opportunity,” Roley said. The second goal is that by June 2024, all students will develop the social and emo- tional skills to be positive community members. “We don’t get academic achievement without our kids being socially and emo- tionally healthy,” Roley said. “Those two pieces are equally important—you can’t have one without the other.” The strategic plan also includes implementation goals for January through June that include gather- ing accurate data regarding performance indicators and establishing district teams to oversee each indicator. In August, the team will pres- ent a more detailed fi ve- year implementation plan to the School Board. “I like the fact that it’s two goals right now — they’re huge goals — and I like the fact that there’s accountability through responsibility in the inter- val,” school board member Patrick Nofi eld said. During the life of the stra- tegic plan, the district lead- ership team will conduct an annual review of progress and revise specifi c targets and actions, presenting a revised fi ve-year plan to the school board each August. The various committees also will periodically report to the school board on what activi- ties they have accomplished, what activities they are plan- ning, and the results. Likely those presentation will begin after spring break in 2019, when the groups have more information to share, Roley said. The board unanimously approved the plan; board members Lori Lum and Mark Truax were absent. Providence: Providence Home Health helps patients manage their daily lives, medications, transit Continued from Page A1 Helping Hands: Center is on the move in Seaside help them determine their goals for their health care.” This is accomplished by a process she called “motiva- tional interviewing,” taking the time to develop a rela- tionship of trust with patients. Goals are ones the patient wants to work on, not goals set by the physician or the visiting nurse. Home Health’s offi ce is maintained by French-Peter- son and a small staff of team assistant Carol Sumaray, speech language pathologist Julie Wisecup and charge nurse Jolie Taylor, R.N. “We’re here to alleviate suffering, both physical and emotional,” French-Peterson said. “We help people learn to control their symptoms at home and create their own symptom management plan.” Chronic illness is eligi- ble for palliative care, she added. Providence Home Health is located at 3605 N. High- way 101 in Gearhart. Con- tact Mary French-Peterson at Mary.french-peterson@ providence.org or call 503-717-7772.
