Theatre students have been attending the Oregon Shakespeare Festival for many years.  In 2020, the trip was cancelled due to Covid and was not possible in 2021 for the same reason.  This year we will be bringing seven students and two teacher chaperones on this 3-day event.  The students will attend theatre plays at the festival and one play at the Cabaret Theatre.  They will also receive educational opportunities through workshops, festival actor discussions and a backstage tour.

As part of our efforts to improve student outcomes for all students, the District is interested in working with the International Center for Leadership to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment and develop a strategic professional learning plan for our staff.  

This process will involve a series of surveys of staff, students, and families about their perceptions of the instructional program we offer in our high schools.  Then, instructional experts will spend several days visiting classrooms and interviewing teachers, staff, and students to learn more about the instructional program.  Using this information, they will develop a comprehensive report with strengths and areas for improvement.  Finally, they will work with district and site administrators to prioritize needs and to develop a strategic professional learning plan to best support our staff and improve student achievement. 

The District sees a need to provide students with a comprehensive platform which will support their efforts to prepare them for their future career path.  SchooLinks provides all students with a platform to meet this need which includes the capability to:

• Develop a 4-year academic plan through high school, including CTE pathways
  
• Research and identify careers of interest
• Research colleges, trade schools, internships, and job opportunities available to them
• Complete and manage college and scholarship applications, FAFSA, transcript requests, letter of recommendation requests
• Track service and volunteer hours
