| WU student earns internships, aid through Kemper Scholars Program |
The James S. Kemper Foundation has chosen Sam Gonzales ’16 for the prestigious Kemper Scholars Program, which will prepare him for leadership and service in the management and business fields.
Gonzales, a native of Junction City, Ore., was selected on the basis of academic excellence, character, leadership and service experience. He will receive an annual scholarship of $8,000 for his remaining years of college, along with ongoing mentoring and the ability to attend annual conferences with Kemper Scholars from across the country.
Gonzales will attend a conference in Chicago in August to meet other Kemper Scholars and discuss their experiences with the program. The following summer, he will intern for a Chicago nonprofit company — choosing from a selection of museums, public radio stations, theaters and other organizations.
During the summer of his junior year, Gonzales will intern at a for-profit company of his choosing, and has the potential to travel abroad.
Each year, 18 students are chosen for the Kemper Scholars Program. Willamette University is one of 16 schools allowed to nominate students for the opportunity. |

| Oregon Battle of the Books |
 |
The Oregon Battle of the Books is a great program that supports and promotes reading. The sections are divided into grades 3-5, 6-8 and high school. Each grade level has sixteen books that are on the reading list. In February we had a district competition held at Oaklea. Our grades 3-5 competed against Oaklea, Laurel and Territorial. Becky Smith was in charge of the Laurel group, Rebecca Carmichael for Territorial and Sherrene Kulm and Carol Davis for Oaklea's group. All students that participated in OBOB took part in the Battle. Oaklea's band played Eye of the Tiger as students arrived. Parents and siblings were invited to attend and chairs were assembled in Oaklea's small gym. The teams are divided into groups of four with one alternate. Teams were asked eight "In which book" questions and eight content questions. Points are kept through out the competition and totals added at the end. The top team in each group grade level continues on to compete at the regional level. Grade 3-5 regionals were held at North Eugene High School. Grades 6-8 regionals were held at North Eugene High School. Our Oaklea grades 6-8 made it to the "Sweet sixteen" before being eliminated. We are very proud of all partcipants this year. All students read many books and were great competitors. |

PENDING CHANGES TO PUBLIC EDUCATION
Parents – It’s important for you to know that public education is going through a number of changes intended to improve classroom instruction and make grade reporting more accurate.
The traditional grading will transition away from points and average scores. Instead, report cards and progress reports will reflect student proficiency in Oregon content standards and Common Core State Standards. This is required under House Bill 2220 which mandates that schools provide students and parents an annual report of the student’s standards-proficiency at grade level.
Students will earn their credits based on demonstrated proficiency on course standards. By demonstrating advanced levels of mastery on the standards, students can earn higher grades.
As JCHS works toward implementing proficiency-based grading, informational sessions will be held to inform students and parents of these changes.
COMMENCEMENT
Members of the Class of 2013 should double-check their transcripts and schedules to make sure that they will meet all the credit requirements to participate in commencement exercises on Saturday, June 8, 2013 at Bill Peden Field beginning at 2:00pm sharp.
PROFICIENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR 2012-13
The Class of 2013 must meet Oregon proficiency standards in reading and writing as well as attain the required credits in order to graduate. Graduates in 2014 and beyond will be required to meet Oregon’s proficiency standards in reading, writing, and math.
