MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPALGood Day Oly Nation,

We are off and running. I would like to remind all of our students that if you find yourself falling behind or needing extra help, now is the time to ask. The end of the semester will be too late! We have a great staff that is here to help support our students’ academic endeavors as much as possible, so please don’t hesitate to ask! Our after school tutoring program is starting up again soon as another option for our students to get some extra support. Parents please encourage your students to talk to their teachers and get assignments clarified, get help, or extra tutoring—it will pay of at the end of the semester.

Graduation requirements are changing. Below is a summary of what to expect over the next few years:

Seniors (the Class of 2012) needs to meet the 24 credit requirement set by the State of Oregon as well as have a passing score on the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS) Reading Assessment or two passing reading work samples.

Juniors (the Class of 2013) needs to meet the 24 academic credit requirements also, as well as having a passing score on the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS) Reading Assessment and must have a passing score on the OAKS Writing Assessment.

Sophomores (the Class of 2014) and Freshmen (the Class of 2015) is also required to meet the 24 academic credit requirement, the OAKS Reading Assessment, the OAKS Math Assessment, and must have a passing score on the OAKS Writing Assessment.

I hope you find this information valuable in guiding and supporting your student in meeting their graduation requirements. We are here to assist you as much as possible.

Sincerely,

Mr. Scholl, Principal, Sprague High School

DID I HEAR THE PHONE RING?In an effort to stay better connected to our school community, all of our district’s schools now utilize a Parent Notification system. The system may be used to call the homes of students to report absences, emergencies, closures, or to deliver messages about important events occurring in our school and district. Be sure to keep your contact information up-to-date so you don’t miss that important call.

C O M M u N I T YNominations Open for New School NamesAll parents, students, staff and the community are invited to suggest names for the two new elementary schools opening in Salem in fall of 2012. One school is being constructed in East Salem near Cordon Road and Sunnyview Road, and another near Madras Street in South Salem. Nominations for school names are being accepted through November 30, 2011.

Nominations can be submitted through an online form or a paper form. Please visit:http://www.salemkeizer.org/content/nominate-name-new-east-and-south-salem-schools

to find the forms and read the criteria names must meet to be considered. The School Board will make a final decision on the school names in March 2012.

Both schools are being constructed with funding provided by the construction bond approved by voters in 2008. Bond funds can only be used for projects associated with the 2008 bond measure, like overcrowding and repairs, and cannot be used for school operations. Thanks to the community’s support of the bond, our schools are becoming safer, healthier and less crowded learning environments.

We all share the need to be ready to respond to students who are ill. We have protocols in place for schools to deal with an outbreak of any

illness. In addition, health curriculum, hand washing techniques and illness prevention are reviewed numerous times each year and parents are

notified to pick up their student from school if they become symptomatic. Practicing illness prevention techniques at home like covering your cough and sneeze and washing hands with soap and water will help all of us be well this flu season. Communicate with your child’s teacher, the school nurse or school based health assistant if your child’s medical or health needs have changed. If you have any other questions, please call your school or the district’s Nurse Helpline at 503-399-3376.

Todos nosotros compartimos la necesidad de estar preparados a responder a todos los estudiantes que están enfermos. Tenemos un protocolo que esta en pie para que las escuelas sepan enfrentarse con la epidemia de cualquier enfermedad. Como también hay un currículo de salud, técnicas de lavarse las manos, prevención de enfermedades son repasadas varias veces cada año y a los padres se les notifica que recojan a sus estudiantes de la escuela cuando tengan algún síntoma. Practicando las técnicas de prevención de enfermedades en casa como taparse la boca al toser o destornudar y lavarse las manos con jabón y agua ayudará a mantenernos sanos esta temporada de la influenza. Comuníquese con la maestro/a, la enfermera de la escuela o con la asistente de enfermera si es que las necesidades médicas o de salud de sus hijo/a han cambiado. Si tiene cualquier otra pregunta, por favor llame a su escuela o a la línea de ayuda de las enfermeras del distrito empezando al 503-399-3376.

A C A D E M I C SSCIENCE DEPARTMENTFive Sprague students (the only students from

Salem-Keizer) were chosen to participate in the Apprenticeship in Science and Engineering (ASE)

Program this summer through the Saturday Academy in affiliation with University of Portland. This program allowed students to work under a mentor for 8 weeks on individual research projects.

On Friday, August 19, students shared their research with fellow students, parents and guests in a 12-minute power point presentation followed by a 30-minute poster presentation in the afternoon. We congratulate the following students (and thank their mentors) for the opportunity to pursue the following projects:

Anita Chow (grade 12), working under Dr. Lech Muszynski at Oregon State University (OSU), Corvallis, studied “Gamification of Annotating Images” in which she worked on making soil analysis into a game --- an analytical approach to the future.

Dana Hannibal (grade 11), working under Dr. Stacey Harper at Oregon State University (OSU), Corvallis, presented research on “Working in a Nanotoxicology Laboratory” in which she analyzed the size of nanoparticles in sunscreens and their toxicity on zebra fish.

Deirdre McAteer (grade 12) spent her second summer working under Dr. Peter Zuber at the Center for Coastal Margin Observation and Prediction (CMOP), Beaverton, where her topic this year was “Molecular Identification of Red Water Bloom-Forming Myrionecta rubra and its Cryptophyte Endosymbiont in the Columbia River Estuary”.

Kate Rosen (grade 12), working under Dr. Jacob Raber at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU), Portland, studied “The Role of Color in Novel Image/Novel Location Object Recognition in Humans” where her data indicated that colored pictures are more easily recalled from short-term memory than black and white pictures.

Noah Zentzis (grade 11), working under Ms. Alexis Bruemmer at International Business Machines (IBM), Beaverton, presented his work on “Filesystem Benchmarking Under Linux”.

These students experienced an incredible opportunity to delve into scientific research and present their work to peers. If you have an interest in applying for ASE, a presentation will be made later in the fall and applications will become available in December to be submitted in January.

talented and gifted Students at Sprague High School

Welcome to Sprague High School’s TAG program. We are fortunate to have a very high number of talented and gifted students attending Sprague High School where they have opportunities to take advanced classes, including Honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses. The Oregon Talented and Gifted Act, which was passed by the legislature in 1987, requires school districts to identify and serve both intellectually gifted and academically talented students in grades K-12. Some students may choose not to take these classes for a variety of reasons, including schedule conflicts or the demands of extra-curricular commitments. TAG students at Sprague High School also receive a letter from the Salem Keizer School District and a separate letter outline the TAG plan procedure here at Sprague High School. Here are some commonly asked questions about the TAG program:

Are students only identified as TAG in elementary and junior high?There is an ongoing search for TAG students attending Sprague High School. We continue to identify TAG students up to and through 12th grade. This is done through a combination of file reviews, teacher recommendations, and high test scores (above 97% on a state exam). The newly identified students are then coded by the registrar as a TAG student and letters are sent to the parents. In this district, we do not identify students who are TAG in the performing arts.

I was informed that my student was a prospective TAG candidate—but I haven’t heard anything since. Many prospective TAG students have purple folders in their student file that show evidence of review by elementary/middle school teachers. State guidelines indicate students must place above 97% on standardized tests. Your student may fall under state guidelines, but their file remains “flagged” as a prospective TAG student.

How do I know that my student is having his/her TAG needs met in the classroom?High school teachers have an advantage over middle school and elementary teachers because of the variety of levels of classes offered. We hope that many TAG students participate in advanced level courses. Students and teachers need to communicate with each other about the level of work that is offered in the classroom. All Sprague

courses have TAG plans. They are on file in the office, and updated by the end of October. You may ask to see them or contact the TAG coordinator for a copy. We are doing our best to place TAG students in the correct course level; in addition, we pre-assess and document the ways we are accommodating TAG students in the classroom.

I suspect my student may be a TAG student. How can I request an assessment?Yes, parents are welcome to contact the coordinator and request more testing and a file review. Many students show their abilities in high school. The TAG team has the test results from the state exams and teachers’ recommendations; therefore, the entire student population is reviewed during the course of the school year.

My student was identified as TAG, but his/her grades do not reflect their abilities. One of the interesting things is that studies of TAG students refer to the “high intellect-low achieving” student. If you are a parent of such a student, this is a frustration because it is at odds with the student’s abilities. At Sprague, we are concerned about these students. Please notify your student’s counselor and teacher about their performance. At the same time, in all TAG programs there are some students who do not maintain high test scores, even though they were identified as TAG in early years, and it may happen that a student’s early precociousness could mask true giftedness. In our school district, we only reverse a student’s TAG identification at parent request.

Parents need to be aware that if their child feels that they need more challenging work, they may not be in the correct course, or they are not communicating with the teacher. We have placed signs in all classrooms to encourage communication between teacher and student.

A C T I V I T I E SSprague’s Leadership program started this year at full speed and has yet to slow down! Their motto is: the spark that ignites the torch; and that’s exactly what they plan to do with the student body. The focus is to increase student involvement and improve the Sprague atmosphere. By doing this, we believe this will help to improve school spirit and pride.

Looking ahead:Homecoming is on October 28, with the dance on October 29.

October-December we will be accepting gifts for Hoover Elementary for our yearly visit on December 12.

And finally, Sprague’s ASB President, Kate Rosen, said it best at the First Wednesday School Rally when she announced to the crowd that, “Sprague High School is the best high school in the entire world!” We, of course, already knew this, but now, so does the rest of the Salem Keizer School District!

GO OLYS!

Oly LoungeIf you have walked through the halls of Sprague High School during a lunch hour, you have no doubt walked by, viewed a poster, or heard somebody talking about the Oly Lounge. The Oly Lounge is the school store run

by advanced marketing students. The “O-Lounge”, as it’s often referred to, sells food and drinks and also Oly Wear (t-shirts & sweatshirts).

Student-workers operate almost every aspect of the store, and their efforts are appreciated by all. Some of the weekly tasks include ordering, promotion, merchandising, inventory, making deposits, reconciling, maintenance, and brainstorming more efficient ways of running the store. On a daily basis, you will find these students working behind the counters, making drinks, and running the register. They have done a phenomenal job improving the store!

The success of the Oly Lounge is a direct result of the students involved. Over the past 7 years, the store has evolved to what it is today. Major changes have been made this year, mostly due to students, on their own time, coming in to make the store a better place. It’s these students who deserve much of the credit. A few students have gone above and beyond which is required of them as students. Amber Newman (senior) and Elliot Dow (junior) are the store managers this year. They have done a superb job running the store, ensuring staff is properly trained, there is never a shortage of supplies, and maintaining organization in the store.

The Oly Lounge is open every morning (6:55 – 7:25) and lunch (11:00 – 11:40). We’d love to see you soon in the Oly Lounge!

Get Ready To . . .For Doernbecher Children’s Hospital!

Fight Song Fridays!Sprague Activities and Athletics are proud to announce their latest partnership, Fight Song Fridays! ASB governing board (aka Student Government) has set a goal to increase school spirit during the 2011-12 school year and Friday one of their major undertakings takes its maiden voyage: Fight Song Friday!

Meet in the courtyard at 2:30pm for a mini-pep rally, complete with all of Sprague's athletes, coaches and staff! Sing the fight song, listen to updates about how all of Sprague's teams are doing, have an ice cycle or ice cream bar, and take a chance at winning some coveted Oly prizes! The first Fight Song Friday was Friday, Sept. 23, before the Varsity Football game against Centennial. And, of course, I hope you didn’t miss the dance on the turf field after the game either!

Team Covenant TrainingsThis fall all fall Olympian athletes and leadership students participated in a leadership training program called "Team Covenant Training."

Meeting in groups as teams, each team decided on its core values and standards, adopting covenants (commitments to uphold their team standards) from the standards they elected. A dynamic course filled with various lessons regarding ownership, empowerment and student leadership, Team Covenant Training reached over 500 Sprague students this fall with winter and spring athletes yet to go!

Impressive to say the least was the level of engagement and embracing attitude of Oly Nation, as the students, their coaches and staff have taken

the covenant training to a new level in reshaping the culture of Sprague High School based on real leadership and core character values.

It is an exciting and proud time to be an Oly!

New websiteSprague Athletics is excited to announce the launch of its new website: www.spragueathletics.org All game schedules, updates, and the latest and greatest news from Oly Nation will now be available in one location! Stay tuned, more to follow!

Captains AcademySprague's 2nd annual Captains Academy Leadership Training Program started Monday, Sept. 26th. Sophomores selected for the program were nominated by their respective coaches based on the leadership potential their coaches see in them. A seven week program, the Academy is a challenging, insightful, student directed learning course facilitated by Athletic Director Mark Risen.

Intended to teach real leadership through core character traits and values based leadership, the Academy assists student leaders in developing additional leadership skills based on real life experiences and a viable curriculum. Challenging, issues based and skill development centered, the course ballooned with popularity during its maiden 2010-11 voyage! This year’s class looks to be as talented as last years! Exciting!
