FROM THE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT

Dear Parents and Community Members,

This 2012­13 Oregon state report card reflects assessment results

for our District including the level of student reading and

mathematics academic achievement and growth, as well as our

high school cohort graduation rates.  The report card shows that

all District schools were above average (Level 4) in overall

academic achievement with all but one school being above

average in academic growth. The report card also indicates areas

for improvement including academic growth for students with

disabilities and the need for a continued focus on our high school

completion rate.

Our staff is committed to ongoing instructional improvement.  We

are accomplishing this through specific strategies developed by

our teacher teams throughout the district.  This collaborative

teaming effort is informed by student outcomes and is focused on

success for all students.

Our District is grateful for the continued involvement and

support of our parents and patrons who are a vital part of

our District learning community committed to help all of our

students realize their full potential.

Thank you,

Superintendent      |      John Higgins
