Thank you to all parents who have completed the online or paper versions of the parent survey.  We will keep this survey open until Friday December 21st, for those of you who have not completed it.  We have also utilized a student online survey to get feedback from our students.  Both surveys are produced by AdvanceEd, the company that we are working with for our required accrediation this year.  Our staff completed a similar survey during the November 29th inservice day.  In January we will look at all of the results as we focus on defining school improvement goals for the remainder of this school year and next. 

Our boys and girls basketball teams will be traveling to Portland on Tuesday December 11th to play in the Rose Garden, the venue that the Portland Trailblazers use for their games.  It is a special arrangement that has allowed them to play their scheduled game against Estacada in the Rose Garden.  The girls game tips-off at 5:30 PM and the boys game tips at 7:00 PM.  Tickets to this game also entitle you to attend the January 19th Trailblazer game against the Milwaukee Bucks, a great deal see you at the game!

The parent advisory committee met on Thursday December 6th to review proposals for revising or creating policies in the following areas; High School Classes/Courses for 8th Graders, Honors Diploma, Valedictorian/Salutatorian and Grade Point Averages (GPA) and Weighted Grade Point Averages (WGPA).  We will meet again on Monday January 7th at 3:30 PM in the Library.  Please know that you are welcome to attend this meeting if you are interested.  Also know that these policies will need Board approval prior to any implementation and that the earliest implementation would be for the 2013-14 school year.
