Volume 45 ​ ​ Number 13, December 9, 2016 A Weekly Publication of the Sprague High School Community Volume 45 ● Number 13, December 9, 2016 ​ ​ (Excerpt from a letter to Principal Swanson) Mr. Swanson, I wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I appreciated the help from 4 of your students this past weekend. These young ladies volunteered their afternoon on Saturday (12/3) at the annual Fall Leaf Haul. This is a free leaf disposal event for Salem residents and they helped unload leaves from vehicles. It's a cold, wet and dirty job but they did it with enthusiasm and smiles. A huge thank you to.... *Abigail LaVerdure *Tatianna Chess *Kayla Rasmussen *Audra Sproed Leo Gonzalez City of Salem Signs & Sweeping 503-589-2195 Come to the Decade Dance tonight, December 9th, after the basketball game and support Oly Pageant!

They must request their schedule ​ ​ change via the online request process. During the first week of the semester, counselors will correct scheduling errors with students in person for the following reasons only: 1.

Students have been assigned to a specific teacher who will assist them with special projects, trainings, and required surveys or lessons throughout the year. Some of these lessons are mandated by the Oregon Legislature. In July of 2015, the Oregon Legislature passed SB ​ 856 (Sex Abuse Prevention Instruction) which requires schools to provide four lessons on sexual abuse prevention, K-12th grade. Advisory periods are 40 minutes in length and along with SB 856 instruction, will cover other state required activities or graduation requirements such as the PEP (Personal Education Plans) which is required for all students. Students will also use their Advisory time to complete Forecasting activities (choosing of next year’s schedules and classes) and completion of district required surveys and assessment. The creation of Advisory classes minimizes the disruption of regularly scheduled classes and allows for uninterrupted instructional time for English, Social Studies, Science and Math classes which were impacted in previous years. The following dates have been finalized for Advisory schedules for the 2016-17 school year: January 18th ​ February 23rd ​ March 8th ​ April 13th ​ May 18th ​ Any parents who would like further information or have additional questions can contact Chad Barkes, Sprague Assistant Principal. All-Mid-Valley girls cross country team Bill Poehler , Statesman Journal announced ​ ​ This will go down as the year when Sprague High School’s girls cross country team reestablished itself as a premier team in the state. Between the rapid improvement of sophomore Ginger Murnieks, who won the Greater Valley Conference district cross country meet, the transfer from Astoria of junior Kaylee Mitchell, who placed 12th at the 6A state meet, and the emergence of sophomore Elise Abbott, who placed 23rd at state, the Olympians rose to a new level.

  • 2008 Construction Bond Communications Plan
    2008 Construction Bond Communications Plan Introduction The purpose of this communication plan is to ensure Salem-Keizer Public Schools upholds its pledge to the community to provide transparency and accountability in the implementation of the 2008 school construction bond. On November 4, 2008, voters in the Salem-Keizer Public Schools District approved a $242.1 million construction bond to address key renovations, repairs and upgrades to schools to improve safety and provide an adequate learning environment for all students. The list of approved bond projects also includes the construction of three new elementary schools and one middle school to relieve overcrowding. Ten years prior, In November 1998, our community approved a $177.1 million construction bond. These funds, also collected from property taxes, paid for renovations and repairs at a majority of our schools and built 10 new schools, including West Salem High School. Through good fiscal management and the work of our community oversight committee, the 1998 bond projects were completed on time and under budget. Goals The goals of the 2008 Bond Construction Communications Plan are • To facilitate two-way communication with our internal and external publics regarding bond measure implementation in such a way that our publics are proud of the completed projects and have the highest confidence in our ability to implement such projects in the future. • To build the capacity of our key communicators to represent the operations of our school district in a productive manner. Strategies Three strategies will be emphasized in the 2008 Construction Bond Communications Plan: • Empowering school and department-level administrators to maintain, improve and use their key communicator networks.

  • A-12 Policy on News Media Attendance at Executive Sessions
    COUNCIL POLICY NO. A-12 TITLE: POLICY ON NEWS MEDIA ATTENDANCE AT EXECUTIVE SESSIONS POLICY: See attachment. REFERENCE: Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) Chapter 192 Council Policy Manual/Council/Executive Sessions 1 CITY OF SALEM POLICY ON NEWS MEDIA ATTENDANCE AT EXECUTIVE SESSIONS WHEREAS, Oregon public meetings law provides that representatives of the news media shall be allowed to attend certain executive sessions of public bodies, but such representatives may be required not to disclose specified information (ORS 192.660(4)); and WHEREAS, because at the time state law regarding media attendance at executive sessions was adopted the “news media” consisted of entities that were institutionalized and structured to support compliance with the requirements of ORS 192.660(4), the law includes no express mechanism for enforcing those requirements; and WHEREAS, technological advances since the time the public meetings law was initially adopted have resulted in communications mechanisms allowing virtually any individual or entity to disseminate information widely; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Salem finds that in the absence of a statutory definition of “news media” as that term is used in ORS 192.660(4) it is necessary to adopt a policy that implements the intent of the public meetings law relating to executive session attendance without precluding attendance by Internet-based or other “non-traditional” information disseminators that are institutionalized and committed to compliance with ORS 192.660(4); and WHEREAS the City Council of the City of Salem recognizes that this policy is solely for the purpose of determining eligibility of individuals to attend executive sessions where disclosure of specified information from the executive sessions is prohibited, and is not intended to otherwise define “news media” or to determine eligibility to report on City of Salem activities or to limit access to other City of Salem meetings by any person.

  • Station Activity Survey
    2019 Station Activity Survey 1. Describe your overall goals and approach to address identified community issues, needs, and interests through your station’s vital local services, such as multiplatform long and short-form content, digital and in-person engagement, education services, community information, partnership support, and other activities, and audiences you reached or new KBOO Community Radio’s mission states: KBOO is an independent, member-supported, non-commercial, volunteer-powered community radio station. KBOO embodies equitable social change, shares knowledge, and fosters creativity by delivering locally rooted and diverse music, culture, news, and opinions, with a commitment to the voices of oppressed and underserved communities. KBOO has been a valuable part of the Willamette Valley and the Columbia Gorge for 49 years; we reach Salem, Oregon to Longview, Washington — from Mt. Hood to the Coast Range. KBOO provides local service in a variety of forms, including an informative and engaging daily newscast, many high-value local public affairs programs, daily weather reports, and a thriving community events calendar. Additionally, KBOO regularly presents these services through a variety of venues: on-air broadcast, social media, email, mobile app, and website. KBOO's local programming is produced mainly by volunteer hosts and producers in the community we serve. Those producers are charged with gathering stories and points of view that voice and meet community needs. We have a daily news production, entirely created by local, citizen reporters who keep their eyes and ears on the local news scene and make suggestions for stories and features KBOO can cover in a longer format.
