Dear McCornack Parents and Families,
Since the start of my service to the McCornack community four years ago (and our district 14 years ago) our state, school district and school are facing the
bleakest financial times, directly impacting our school program. With determined hearts, the staff and I have been simultaneously shaping our program for
2010-11 as we continue our focus on the achievement of the students we currently serve. Though it is tempting to reach for a more hopeful financial outlook for
our school district, sugar coating this situation will not benefit our students. Honesty, preparation and determination will be our allies as we plan for the future.
Adaptability in structure will serve our students best. It is possible that students will return in the fall to adjusted staff and grade level configurations,
rearranged to better serve unexpected enrollment and needs at certain grade levels. Throughout the year we have been examining student achievement and
class and grade level sizes, student strengths and needs, and considered multiple proposals given the allocated resources. The following is our tentative
staffing plan:
Kindergarten---3 sections (2 AM and 1 PM)
Grade 1---------2 sections
Grade 1/2-------1 section
Grade 2---------2 sections
Grade 3---------3 sections
Grade 4---------3 sections
Grade 5---------3 sections
Counselor------30 hours/week (supplemented from District Equity and Title I)
Music-----------16 hours/week
P.E.--------------0 hours/week
The loss of Physical Education is a significant and unwelcome change for McCornack. Due to lack of resources, across the district loss of P.E. and music
instruction by certified teachers is being felt. It is my intention to work with the staff, school and business community to garner resources to increase the
number of physical activities for our students in and out of school. This year we have continued unicycling through parent/staff volunteerism, held a successful
McCornack Jog-a thon, and Jump Rope for Heart campaign. I have confidence that if we reach out to our business and local community, we will be able to infuse
regular physical opportunities for our students.
As we begin wrapping up the year, the staff will begin the process of class placement. During placement meetings, we will look at strengths and needs of
students and work to create diverse, heterogeneous class groupings. Though we ask that parents refrain from requesting individual teachers (for equitable
placement), parental input is welcome in this process. Our McCornack Parent/Student Handbook (also available on our website) has a description of the
process and timeline. Information parents want us to consider about their child must be submitted in writing on a Student Placement Information form available
in the office on April 26th and is due by May 7th. Please take a moment to review our process and the revised timeline (enclosed) and feel free to call if you
have any questions.
McCornack also bids farewell to a number of retiring teachers -- Mark Olson (Grade 3), Holly Richardson (Grade 3), and Sally Dierenfeld (Grade 2). I would
like to wish them well with style so please check out the special insert about these three teachers. We will miss you and thank you for the decades of teaching
students!
As a parent and educator, I can safely say that every year of learning for our children is a pivotal year. I will continue to advocate for instruction and a program
that will offer 21st Century opportunities, building upon students’ technological and global competencies. We are currently exploring on-line Mandarin and
Spanish instruction, international sister school partnerships and community connections in pursuit of our on-going commitment to build a 21st Century school.
If the Federal Foreign Language Acquisition Program Mandarin grant is available next year, our school will continue the conversation about applying and enriching
our resources and program. We are determined to focus our energy around what is important -- high academic achievement and a sense of social responsibility.
If you are interested in joining our work group for next year, please feel free to give me a call.
A hui hou,
Tasha Katsuda

A Good-bye to Dear Friends
We asked our four retiring staff members to look back on their career
and share with us a few things they learned along the way.
This is what they wrote.
Mrs. Sally Dierenfeld
]How many years have you been working as a teacher? In Eugene 4j?
35 total, 5-years in Nebraska , 5years Astoria. Moved to Eugene in 1985. McCornack - 1 year, 3 years at Westmoreland, 8 years at Edgewood,
14 years at McCornack
]What was the reason you pursued working with children?
I was encouraged by my third and fourth grade
teacher. I also worked as camp counselor and summer camps. I enjoyed it so much that I knew it was what I
wanted to do.
]Describe the best thing about your career as an educator?
I love working with kids and seeing their eyes light up with excitement. The best thing is the
enthusiasm of kids wanting to know more about their world and the moments when you are helping them be creative in some way. At Edgewood I worked with
students on Oregon Trail plays, art and writing. I was inspired that kids developed their skills beyond the basics.
]Describe a memorable moment you have had with a student.
Kate liked writing, though sometimes struggled with it. At one point in the year she worked
hard to write this amazing poem that was published in the Young Writer’s Association Up Starts. An Edgewood parent wrote me a letter when his son became
and Eagle Scout that said you are one of the reasons he made it to that point.
Mrs. Holly Richardson
]How many years have you been working as a teacher? In Eugene 4j?
19.5 years total -- 12 years in 4j -3 of those years as a Special Education teacher with both mildly handicapped and severely handicapped students
in grades K-5. Have taught grades 2, 3, and 4 as a general education classroom teacher.
]What was the reason you pursued working with children?
I knew I always wanted a job teaching. I wasn’t
able to attend college out of high school so I worked full time and attended night school, working towards my
teaching certificate when I was 28. I completed my undergrad and teaching requirements in 10 years and then
pursued my Masters at the U of O in Special Education.
]Describe the best thing about your career as an educator?
Mrs. Casado, Mrs. Richardson and
Mrs. Hove
The love you get form children every day. They teach me every day not to take life so seriously
and that there is always something to learn.
]Describe a memorable moment you have had with a student.
Last year, I received an email from a former 4th grade student who had graduated from high
school and was in the workforce. This girl had taken the time to search me out via email. She wanted me to know how much she appreciated having me as her
math teacher. I remember this girl and her struggles with confidence. She told me that I was the best math teacher she ever had and that now that she was
working she understood the importance of an education and thanked me for all I had done for her. I kept this letter and know that I was meant to teach.
This is just one story. Thankfully, in retirement I will have many stories to tell and remember. I have been extremely fortunate to have had this job and am
thankful for all the joy it has brought me.
A Good-bye to Dear Friends

Mr. Mark Olson
]How many years have you been working as a teacher? In Eugene 4j?
]What was the reason you pursued working with children?
31 years and 31 years
Early experience helping out at the YMCA
with gymnastics with younger kids….I enjoyed helping them.
]Describe the best thing about your career as an educator?
Getting to spend my whole day and career
with children.
]Describe a memorable moment you have had with a student.
Naomi taught me a lot about courage… she had a disability that made her limbs immobile, yet
she had great confidence, poise and personality.
Mr. Jim Hilliard
]How many years have you been working as custodian?
25 years in the district
]What was the reason you pursued working in our schools and with children?
I have always been good with
kids. I had my own children, was coaching, really enjoyed time with kids. I took the job because it was a good one.
]Describe the best thing about your career?
I had one boy here that I met who was in 4th grade. I checked in
with him when I saw him in the hallway. Over the years, we developed a trusting relationship, became friends with
the family, was even invited to the family’s home for dinner. The teacher asked me if I could stop by and connect
with him. When he was a 5th grader, he asked me to stop by and speak on his behalf. He was running for class
president. We talked at every lunch and stayed connected. Many years later, I saw his dad who thanked me for
how I connected with his son who was then in college. It made me feel good!
]Describe a memorable moment you have had with a student.
A girl came to me, very sad that her parents
were getting divorced. I told her that I would try to connect her with someone who could help her, a counselor. I felt bad that she thought that she wasn’t going
to see her parents. I tried to reassure her and connected with her as much as I could in the hallways and at lunch. She is in middle school now and I hope it
helped.
Haiku Contest Winners!
5th grade teacher Karen Olsen sent a number of haikus written
by her students to the Asian Celebration Haiku Contest in February and was
pleased to be notified in April that several were chosen to be published in
“Skipping Stones,” an international multicultural magazine.
Students for Haiti!
Our students, spearheaded by a compassionate team of 5th graders, raised
over $800 for the victims of the earthquake
in Haiti. The money was
presented to the Red
Cross during our April
assembly. Our students
truly are global citizens
of the world!
A haiku is a non-rhyming verse in which there are 5 syllables in the
first sentence, 7 in the second and 5 again in the last sentence.
The golden sun gleams,
down on scaly critters
hide under stones in fear.

Thank You Volunteers!
Every school day parents, grandparents, neighbors, former McCornack family and community members all come to our school
to make a difference in the lives of our students and our staff. With willing hands and ready smiles, you lighten our loads and
brighten our lives. Down through the ages, many wise men and
women have written of volunteers much more eloquently:
Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart. -- Elizabeth Andrew
Those who can, do. Those who can do more, volunteer. -- Author Unknown
It’s easy to make a buck. It’s a lot tougher to make a difference. -- Tom Brokaw
I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catchers mitt on both hands. You need to be
able to throw something back. -- Maya Angelou
So shines a good deed in a weary world. -- from the 1971 film, “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate
Factory”
Estimados padres de familia McCornack y Familias,
Desde el inicio de mi servicio a la comunidad McCornack hace cuatro años (y nuestro distrito hace 14 años) de nuestro estado, distrito escolar y la escuela se
enfrentan a los más sombríos tiempos financieros, que afecta directamente nuestro programa escolar. Con el corazón determinada, el personal y yo hemos
estado al mismo tiempo dando forma a nuestro programa para 2010/11 a medida que continuamos nuestro enfoque en el logro de los estudiantes que actualmente sirven. Aunque es tentador para llegar a un punto de vista financiero más esperanzador para nuestro distrito escolar, capa de azúcar esta situación no
beneficiará a nuestros estudiantes. La honestidad, la preparación y determinación serán nuestros aliados, ya que planeamos para el futuro.
La adaptabilidad de la estructura será servir a nuestros estudiantes las mejores. Es posible que los estudiantes regresarán en el otoño para el personal
ajustada y configuraciones de nivel de grado, reorganizado para servir mejor a la matrícula y las necesidades inesperadas en ciertos grados. A lo largo del año
hemos estado examinando el rendimiento estudiantil y la clase y tamaños a nivel de grado, los puntos fuertes y las necesidades de los estudiantes, y considera
las múltiples propuestas con los recursos asignados. Lo que sigue es nuestro plan de dotación de personal provisional:
Kindergarten --- 3 secciones (2 AM y PM 1)
Grado 1 --------- 2 secciones
Grado 1/2-------1 sección
Grado 2 --------- 2 secciones
Grado 3 --------- 3 secciones
Grado 4 --------- 3 secciones
Grado 5 --------- 3 secciones
Consejero ------ 30 horas / semana (complementado por el Distrito Capital y Título I)
Música ----------- 16 horas / semana
P.E. -------------- 0 horas / semana
La pérdida de la Educación Física es un cambio significativo y anacrónico por McCornack. Debido a la falta de recursos, a través de la pérdida distrito de PE y la
música de instrucción por maestros certificados se está haciendo sentir. Es mi intención de trabajar con el personal, la escuela y la comunidad empresarial para
obtener recursos para aumentar el número de actividades físicas para los estudiantes dentro y fuera de la escuela. Este año hemos continuado con el monociclo
través de los padres o personal de voluntariado, que se celebró un éxito McCornack Jog-a-thon, y saltar la cuerda para la campaña del Corazón. Tengo confianza
en que si nos acercamos a nuestro negocio y la comunidad local, vamos a ser capaces de infundir regulares oportunidades materiales para nuestros estudiantes.
Al comenzar de concluir el año, el personal comenzará el proceso de colocación de la clase. Durante las reuniones de la colocación, vamos a ver las fortalezas y
necesidades de los estudiantes y trabajar para crear diversos grupos de clase heterogéneos. A pesar de lo que pedimos que los padres se abstienen de solicitar
docentes (para la colocación equitativa), opinión de los padres es bienvenida en este proceso. Nuestra McCornack Padre / Manual del Estudiante (también
disponible en nuestra página web) contiene una descripción del proceso y el cronograma. Información de los padres quieren que considerar acerca de su hijo
deben ser presentadas por escrito en un formulario de Colocación de Estudiantes de información disponibles en la oficina el 26 de abril y está previsto por el 7
de mayo. Por favor tome un momento para revisar nuestro proceso y el calendario revisado (adjunto) y no dude en llamar si tiene alguna pregunta.
McCornack también se despide de un número de profesores de retirarse-Mark Olson (Grado 3), Holly Richardson (Grado 3), y Sally Dierenfeld (grado 2).
Quiero desearles lo mejor con el estilo así que por favor echa un vistazo a la inserción de especial en estos tres maestros. Vamos a extrañar y gracias por las
décadas de los estudiantes de enseñanza!
Como padre y educador, puedo decir con seguridad que todos los años de aprendizaje para nuestros niños es un año clave. Voy a continuar abogando por la instrucción y un programa que ofrecerá oportunidades de siglo 21, basándose en las competencias de los estudiantes tecnológicos y globales. Estamos explorando
actualmente en línea de mandarín y enseñanza del español, internacional hermana asociaciones entre centros escolares y las conexiones de la comunidad en
búsqueda de nuestro actual compromiso para construir una escuela siglo 21. Si la Federal de Relaciones Exteriores de Adquisición del Lenguaje del Programa de
subvención mandarín es disponible el próximo año, nuestra escuela seguirá la conversación acerca de cómo aplicar y enriquecer nuestros recursos y el programa.
Estamos decididos a centrar nuestros esfuerzos en todo lo que es importante el rendimiento académico de alto y un sentido de responsabilidad social. Si usted
está interesado en unirse a nuestro grupo de trabajo para el próximo año, por favor no dude en llamarnos.
A hui hou,
Tasha Katsuda

vidas de nuestros estudiantes y nuestro personal.
Con las manos dispuestas y sonrisas listas, para hacer nuestra carga menos
pesada y alegrar nuestras vidas. A lo largo de los siglos, muchos hombres
y mujeres sabios han escrito acerca de voluntarios mucho más elocuentemente:
Los voluntarios no necesariamente tienen el tiempo, lo único que si tienen es
corazón. -- Andrew Elizabeth
Aquellos que pueden, lo hacen. Los que pueden hacer más, son voluntarios.
- Autor Desconocido
Es fácil hacer el dinero. Es más difícil poder hacer la diferencia.
-- Tom Brokaw
He aprendido que uno no debe ir por la vida con un
guante de receptores en ambas manos. Usted
necesita ser capaz de tirar algo a cambio.

cansado. -- De la película de 1971, “Willy Wonka
y la Fábrica de Chocolate”

para los votantes en Oregon para el 18 de mayo, 2010, Elección Primaria.
La propuesta 68 ampliaría la manera en que los distritos pueden utilizar
el dinero que viene de los bonos. Los distritos podrían utilizar los bonos
aprobados por los votantes para comprar terreno, muebles, equipo y los
libros de texto y ayudar a pagar los costos asociados con los proyectos
capitales, tal como los honorarios profesionales.
Cambiaría la definición de mejoramientos capitales para que los
distritos puedan utilizar los fondos de los bonos de las escuelas para
comprar terreno, equipo y más.

Se prohibiría pagar los bonos del estado, aumentando los impuestos sobre
la propiedad. En cambio, destinaría 15 por ciento de los ingresos que
vienen de la lotería del estado, al fondo paralelo de la escuela, para pagar
los fondos dados a varios distritos por el estado. Según la declaración del
folleto de los votantes del estado*, la propuesta no tendría ningún impacto
financiero en los gastos o ganancias del estado o del gobierno local.
Actualmente, el estado puede emitir los bonos generales para ayudar con
los costos capitales de las universidades del estado y de la comunidad. La
propuesta 68 añadiría los distritos escolares locales a esa autoridad.
La propuesta 68 permitiría que el estado emita bonos generales y que utilice
las ganancias de estos bonos para ayudar a los distritos escolares a pagar los
costos capitales. Los distritos escolares con las obligaciones de capital, aprobadas por los votantes, podrían recibir los fondos de aportaciones paralelas
del estado, reduciendo los costos locales.
Establecería un fondo de aportaciones paralelas del estado para ayudar
a los distritos escolares a financiar los mejoramientos capitales.

The measure would prohibit repaying the state bonds by raising
property taxes. Rather, it would dedicate 15 percent of state
lottery revenue to the school capital matching fund to repay state
funds provided to districts. According to the state voters’ pamphlet statement*, the measure would have no financial effect on
either state or local government expenditures or revenues.
Remember to vote by May 18!

Measure 68 would broaden how Oregon school districts can
use bond proceeds. Districts could use voter-approved bonds
to buy land, furniture, equipment and textbooks and pay costs
associated with capital projects such as professional fees.
Measure 68 would allow the state to issue general obligation
bonds and use the revenue from these bonds to pay some
capital costs for local school districts. Oregon school districts
with voter-approved capital bonds could receive state matching
funds, lowering local costs for the project.
Currently, the state can issue general obligation bonds to help
finance state university and community college capital costs.
Measure 68 would add public school districts to that authority.
Would allow schools to use bond funds for more capital costs
Would allow state to match local capital improvement bonds
