Signage

Native American Outreach Grants

May 18, 2023/in News - District & All Schools /by rthornburg

Three schools in the Pendleton School District recently received Native American Families Outreach Grants. The Pendleton Early Learning Center received $10,000, Washington Elementary received $7,000 and Sunridge Middle School received $10,000. The purpose of the grants is to support Native American students in navigating public school systems.

SMS Principal Piper Kelm said the majority of the grant at Sunridge will be used to produce signage in the school that incorporates the Umatilla language. Similar signage is already in place at Washington Elementary School.

Kelm said she believes the new signage will help Native American students to feel seen at their school while offering the opportunity for non-Native students to be exposed to words in a different language that is right next door. “We hope this helps foster a school climate of neighbors together in community and also helps sustain this native language for future generations,” Kelm said.

Pendleton Early Learning Center received $10,000 and is also producing signage incorporating native language.

Washington Elementary received $7,000 and has scheduled a Native American Family Dinner on May 25th, during which the Pendleton High School food truck will provide dinner. Washington is also planning some other projects.

District Selects New Washington Elementary School Principal

April 20, 2023/in News - District & All Schools /by rthornburg

The Pendleton School District School Board has selected Mr. Kevin Dinning as the new Principal at Washington Elementary School.

Dinning is currently the Superintendent/Secondary Principal of Ione School District.  Prior to that, he served as Bonners County Middle School Principal in Bonners Ferry, Idaho.  In 2016, he was selected as the Bonners Ferry High School Principal.  In 2015-2016, Dinning served as both an elementary and high school vice-principal in Bonners County School District.

Colleagues describe Dinning as a talented leader who is thoughtful, considerate, and consistent.  He is also described as a “people person” who puts the needs of students, staff, and parents at the forefront of every decision he makes.  Other colleagues who have worked alongside Dinning describe him as a true professional who operates with a high level of integrity.

Dinning earned a bachelor of science in Secondary Education from the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho, and a master of science degree in Educational Leadership from Concordia University in Portland.

According to Superintendent Kevin Headings, “Mr. Dinning possesses the qualities we were looking for in our next Washington Elementary principal – high integrity, talented leader, student-centered, and a strong communicator.  Finding someone with knowledge and understanding of our region and who is familiar with Pendleton was also important to the selection committee.”

Dinning will replace Coree Terjeson, who resigned effective June 30th earlier in the year.  Dinning’s contract begins July 1st.  He and his wife, Heidi, have two elementary school-aged children, Sofie and Henry.

Native Voices Community Conversations

April 13, 2023/in District Site News, News - District & All Schools /by rthornburg

You are invited to participate in a research study, Native Voices Across Generations: Reimagining Discipline in a New School Landscape (Native Voices or NV) project.

The Pendleton School District, in cooperation with a research team from the University of Oregon, is hosting a community conversation/listening session on Monday, April 24, at Washington Elementary, starting at 5:00 pm.  Dinner and childcare will be provided.

The research team is seeking to hear from parents, community members, teachers, administrators, and staff.

The purpose of this one-year project is to give voice to teachers, school and district administrators, and other school staff to look at discipline practices and investigate contributors to and consequences of disproportionate discipline for Native students in Oregon K-12 schools.

The findings of this project will inform, design and recommend school-based policies, trainings, resources, and supports that are culturally responsive and integrate Native tribal and community assets to shift any overrepresentation of AI/AN students in discipline data by researching (1) potential contributors to and consequences of disciplinary practices in Oregon K-12 school districts and (2) if district administrators, teachers, and other school personnel might benefit from professional development on Indian Education Policies and Language Restoration; Native Languages of Oregon; and Equity in School Policy for Native Students.

Equally important, this study queries what Native students, families, and communities envision as essential for healthy schools in which Native students belong and thrive culturally, socially, psychologically, and academically.

Community conversations/listening sessions will occur at the Washington Elementary School on Monday, April 24, from 5-7:30 pm. Each participant will receive an incentive of $25 for participating in the conversations.

This project involves the collaboration of the Center for Equity Promotion (CEQP) in the University of Oregon’s (UO) College of Education, the UO’s Northwest Indian Language Institute (NILI), the Native Wellness Institute (NWI), and participating Tribes and School Districts with funding from and in partnership with the Office of Indian Education/Oregon Department of Education (OIE/ODE).

If you are interested in participating in this research study, please complete the Adult Consent form located here: https://tinyurl.com/NV-Adult-Consent.
Hard copies of the consent form will be available at the event.

If you have any questions about this study, please contact Rita Svanks at rsvanks@uoregon.edu, 541-346-4125.
