c. Burns High School– Principal Dave Goetz
Burns High School staff and students want to thank Tony Svejcar for attending Burns High Schools “Get
Involved Assembly” held on March 6, 2017 as our guest. Tony drew six students name out a bowl, 3
winning $50.00 each and another 3 winning apparel from the Burns High Booster Club. 1st Trimester we
had 68.7% of our students involved in a club, sport or activity. At the end of 2nd Trimester, we nearly hit
80%, but landed just short at 79.62% of our students involved in a club, sport or activity. Our goal is
100% involvement.
Burns High School staff and student body would like to say a big “THANK YOU” to our Booster Club.
They donated $3000.00 to our flag fund last week, which has given us enough money to purchase an
Oregon Flag to hang in our gym next to the American Flag and Tribal Flag. We also would like to thank
Bella Java, the class of 2005-2008 and 2015, and any community members that donated during the
basketball season for their kind donations to make this happen. The flag is ordered and should be up in the
next 3 weeks.
This morning, Burns High School students attended the movie theatre as the second stage of the positive
behavior support program. The students were treated to a movie, pizza and soda for receiving no
Discipline Referrals, passing all their classes with a “C” or better and having less than 1 unexcused
absence for second Trimester. The movie they watched was Doctor Strange. Approximately 110 students
qualified.
I have supplied you in your packet an updated Important Dates List for Burns High School. As things
come up, I’ll try and update you.
Burns High School Site Council has been working hard with the staff at the school to EMPOWER our
students to decide on their future when they enter our High School. Our responsibility as educators to
prepare all students to be College and or Career ready. With that in mind, a few of our members would
like to present to you the direction Burns High School is going in the future.

we appreciate everything they do for us.
Winter Sports
Winter sports have come to an end. Both the boys and girls basketball teams finished 3rd in the Eastern
Oregon League. The girl’s team was able to advance on with the wildcard spot and play a first round
play-off game against Rainier at Rainier to finish their season. The wrestling team sent five boys to state
this year including Anthony Moulton, Sebastian Johnson, Kyran Simpson, Dallon Higgins, and Evan
Gunderson. Kyran Simpson placed 6th, and both Dallon Higgins and Evan Gunderson placed 3rd.
Spring Sports
Spring sports have just kicked off at the high school with baseball, softball, golf, and track and field.
Baseball is having their first game today in John Day. The softball team will begin their season this
Saturday against LaPine, which will be played at Mountain View High School. The girls golf team is
going to a tournament in Weiser on the 22nd, and both the boys and girls team are heading to Pendleton on
April 7th to compete in the PCC Invite. Track and Field goes to their first meet this Thursday in
Prineville.
As far as current leadership activities, we have a lot going on right now. We are in the process of
planning:
Canned Food Drive the week of April 3-6
After the long winter we have had, the leadership class would like to help bulk up the community food
bank by holding a school wide canned food drive. There will be a competition between all third period
classes and the winner, based on a food point system, will receive a pizza party the following week.
Spring Blood Drive- EMMA
Student Body Elections the Week of April 23rd
This week will consist of candidates campaigning around the school trying to promote themselves as
future class or ASB officers. On the Wednesday of this week we will hold as assembly for them to give
their speeches and on that Thursday we will begin the voting process.
We plan to hold elections much earlier this year in order to provide new officers with a transition period
where they can meet with the current officers and get an idea of what they will be doing next year. The
leadership advisor Amy Smith and I would also like to have an officer retreat where we can sketch out
ideas for next year and determine what the schedule will look like.
A group of leadership students and I will also be going down to the middle school to discuss elections
with the upcoming freshmen class and get those underway so that they too may prepare to take on the task
of holding a class office.
Prom
A group of juniors in the leadership class are working hard to plan prom which will be held April 29th at
the Gathering Center. They have a live band scheduled to perform and are currently ordering decorations.
Teacher Appreciation Week
Although teacher appreciation week is not until May, we have a committee in leadership lined out
already. They have been getting ideas for goodies to give out and have begun ordering gifts for the
teachers.
Ronald McDonald Week April 17-20
We have this week every year to help raise money for the Ronald McDonald house in Bend. Each day of
the week there will be a different activity taking place at BHS.
Monday there will be an assembly. We are trying to get a representative from the Ronald McDonald
house to come speak to the students and explain the importance of this week.
Tuesday there will be a volleyball tournament open to community members as well. There will be an
entry fee and team fee to play.
Wednesday we will be having the Miss BHS pageant where we will charge participants and those who
come to watch.
Thursday we are holding a dance for the middle school students at the high school. During the entire
week will be a penny drive, and again there will be a competition between classes to try to boost
participation.
All the money from each individual activity held throughout the week will be donated to the Ronald
McDonald house in Bend.
BHS Site Council – Chad Boyd
The BHS Site Council, which acts as an advisory body to the school, adopted the mission statement,
“Make Education Relevant.” Chad Boyd, BHS Site Council member, and BHS student, Elijah Grigg,
gave a presentation explaining the BHS Academic and Career Pathways program and vision for
improving Burns High School. Foundation knowledge and skills make up the core curriculum for all
BHS students who may choose one of five career paths with college and career emphasis electives in each
path. The council found computer sciences and new technologies to be lacking and in need of strategic
hires to complete pathway curriculum. They would like to engage the community in developing
internship opportunities.
BHS Career Pathways:
Sciences
Technical Sciences
Human Services
Arts/Communication
Business Management
Following the presentation, the board asked questions and discussed the program.
d. Monroe School – Principal Chandra Ferguson
During this last month at Monroe School, we have busy preparing for the upcoming Smarter Balanced
assessment. Students have been continuing to work throughout the year on their writing skills. With this
continued practice and diligence, we are seeing both growth and confidence in their writing abilities.
Students are also continuing to work through the transition curriculum we purchased. They are each
creating their own portfolio, which includes copies of their resume, job applications they have filled out,
and a contact numbers/resources list of services for the community they are returning to.
We had a recent phone call at Monroe from a student who had left the facility and moved to the mid-west.
He shared that once he got out of the facility he needed to find a job. He wanted to let us know that if we
had not worked with him around transition, and didn’t have his portfolio, he didn’t know how he would
have made it. He shared that he was able to fill out job applications because he had practiced at Monroe
and had examples to look at in his portfolio. In addition, he had given out copies of his resume when he
turned in applications. He called to check on one of the jobs he had applied for and over the phone he
heard them say, “It is the only one who had a resume with his application calling.” He was very excited
to share with us that he had been hired for that job and was doing great. This is a success story!
We still have 8 students enrolled in college courses through Treasure Valley Community college. They
are really enjoying their courses and having great success. Many plan to increase their class load this next
term and there is even talk of taking classes throughout the summer so they can progress faster through
the program. In addition, we have 5 students attending college through our new construction program.
That is a total of 13 out of our 15 graduates at EOYCF that are attending college and earning credits.
Again, I am so very grateful to be a part of this District and team! Thank you for the opportunity to serve
as the Monroe School principal.
Sincerely,
Chandra Ferguson

TAPP Program – Scott Smyth
OVERALL TRIMESTER UPDATE
The second trimester is over at all the schools and we are down to the last 50 days left until summer
vacation. Overall, the kids are doing great; they have been working hard in their classes and being
extremely active while tolerating the snow and ice for the past three months. The grades at the schools
have improved overall from the previous trimester due to the hard work by the students, staff and supports
offered to each student.
ATTENDANCE
The attendance this trimester is a down from last trimester. When I look at the reasons, I see there has
been a lot of sickness reoccurring with the kiddos, extra days or extended days for vacations, and medical
appointments for themselves or family members. Two of the three listed can be controlled, vacation and
appointments. When a student misses more than 8 to 12 days a year, there is a high likelihood that the
student will struggle in school with reading, writing or math. Please consider this if you plan on leaving
town during school contact days. If you have issues with getting your student to school when everyone is
sick or busy doing things, give us a call in education. We can help.
The percentages at each school are:
Burns High School: 88% attendance, 79 tardy and 34 unexcused (non-called in) absences;
Hines Middle School: 90% attendance, 118 tardy and 16 unexcused absences;
Henry L Slater Elementary School: 90% attendance, 103 tardy, 44 unexcused absences.
The first trimester percentages in the district for the Native American population is:
Burns High School: 89% for 1st trimester, and overall a 88% for the year;
Hines Middle School: 94% for the 1st trimester, and 92% for the year;
Henry L. Slater Elementary School: 94% for the 1st trimester, and 92% for the year;
The district average is 91%.
ACTIVITIES
There are several things that we have done and other activities coming down the pike for the families and
students at the schools:
Diversity Training;
Tutoring;
Open Gym;
Drone flying/STEM and other Friday activities;
Trimester prizes for attendance;
Parent Committee/Parent training;
Tribal Training;
LICWAC;
Parent dinners;
College Application Support and Future College Visi;t
Parent support in meetings and helping to get students to school;
Working in the classrooms at Slater and Hines and being a resource at the high school for the
students as needed. Transition Specialist – Deborah Titus
Things are going well at the Transition Center. The students like being there and look forward to coming
each day. Four students from BHS are currently coming each day to do Drivers Ed with us in preparation
to apply for their driving permits.
As many of you know, the AARP group has been using a few rooms to do taxes for people in the
community. Our Transition kids have been making cookies and coffee for all, which has been much
appreciated by the group as well as the community members.
I would like to mention that we have put the Transition Center Path in the hallway if you would be
interested in looking it over. We have already reached many of our goals ahead of schedule; this has been
a very exciting and worthwhile venture. I want to thank all of you so much for your support in this, I have
no doubt that the program will continue to grow and be successful. Please feel free to stop by and visit
with our students and see how things are progressing.
Our next project is to clean up an area down stairs for a laundry facility and storage area.
12. Superintendent’s Report – Steve Quick Steve Jones and Brenda Graham recently took part in a job fair in LaGrande. We have several positions open due to resignations and retirements. District 3 is also in need of a K-12 counselor and a K-12 librarian. To help the younger students improve their math skills and prepare for the upcoming Smarter Balanced testing, Slater Elementary will be purchasing supplemental Kindergarten through grade 1 Math and Science curriculum through the Bridges program. These materials will be partially grant funded. Steve Quick, Dave Robinson and several teachers, attended the Oregon Whole Child Summit in Salem on Monday. The district will gradually change the way it does discipline by looking at the whole child and trying to fix the problem. Last month the board approved Friday, April 14 as a make-up school day for the snow day that took place in January. There have been a few concerns due to the fact that April 14 is Good Friday. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Board to continue with the plan to have school on that date. Mr. Quick attended the girls’ basketball game in Rainier and the Wrestling Classic in Portland and was a volunteer judge at the FFA Sectionals that took place at Burns on February 27. He also went to Bend with a group of climbers to scale a 60-foot high rock, and will take part in an upcoming fund-raiser cross-country event with seven staff members. ACTION ITEMS

20. Bio Mass Boiler Project Update – Lori Cheek HDBC is working with Craft 3, a private bank, and with Meyer Memorial Trust to attain a USDA loan. This is similar to the loan that funded the new hospital, called a Communities Facility Loan. Currently our boiler produces more energy than the school and courthouse use. We are reaching out to four separate entities that may be interested in buying thermal energy from the HDBC. There are five small business in Harney County who have service agreements or contracts to do work for the heating district: Burns Electric is one of the business. Burns Electric is also allowing a BHS student to learn about the boiler system and be trained to provide oversight and maintenance to the system.

Monroe School - April 2017 Board Report
Monroe school students have been busy working with Mrs. Carghill in preparation for the upcoming Smarter Balanced Assessment in the area of writing. The student’s continued practice and diligence has resulted in confidence in their writing abilities. Mrs. Carghill’s utilization of positive feedback and recommendations for improvement, supports students in their growth.
Students are continuing to work with the transition curriculum, creating their portfolios. Ms. Kahn is arranging for mock interviews and a customer service training, giving students practice and skills that can be utilized in the future. Students are working on developing budgets and gaining skills around the management of funds. These life skills are essential for their success as they transition into the community in the future.
Mr. Horrell continues to do a phenomenal job with our construction program and the collaboration with Treasure Valley Community College (TVCC) regarding the construction certification process and college credits. This week, two directors from TVCC will be visiting our school. There focus is to look at our Construction Program and how things are progressing. They will give us feedback on our next steps and act as resources for any questions we are having.
I am so very grateful to be a part of this District and team! Thank you for the opportunity to serve as the Monroe School principal.
Sincerely,
Chandra Ferguson
Board Meeting TAPP Update:
A Parent/Student informational dinner was sponsored by TAPP on March 23rd with over 30 people present at the dinner. We presented attendance numbers, college application, scholarships and FAFSA programs. There were several other items discussed, including Native colleges and college classes for the students while in high school.
Second Trimester TAPP attendance awards were presented at Slater Elementary School to all Native American students whose attendance was at 90% or higher. 25 students qualified, all received certifications and a reward. 6 students drawn from that list earned $10.00 Amazon cards for meeting not only the attendance requirements, but also met the tardy, disciplinary referrals, and unexcused absence requirements. One student’s name was drawn for the big trimester reward of a Nextbook tablet. A presentation to Hines Middle School will be on Wednesday, April 12, 2017, and a presentation to Burns High School will be on Thursday, April 13, 2017. 51 of 78 Native American students had 90% attendance or better in the district.
So far with the new trimester going through the first 4 weeks, Burns High School has 89% attendance, Hines Middle School has an outstanding 96% attendance and Slater Elementary School has 91%. Hopefully we’ll continue at that level or better for the remaining weeks.
TAPP is also helping support of the Equity in Education Training that is occurring Monday and Tuesday of this week with several students and tribal folks involved. If you have any questions please feel free to give me an email or call.
