A PUBLICATION OF THE W HITE RIVER SCHOOL DISTRICT
A message from Superintendent Janel Keating
AUGUST 2015
focus
It’s often said that the one thing that remains constant is “change.” While this may be true, for me
one thing that remains the same from year to year is the excitement that begins to build as a new
school year approaches. I feel so blessed, that I “get to” lead our administrators and staff—and
importantly, our students—into a new school year. The White River School District truly reflects a
culture where we are grateful that we “get to” teach our kids, rather than thinking that we “have to”
start another year!
This coming school year holds special significance for me. This will be my daughter, Taylor’s, senior year. Of course, every parent who has experienced their child’s graduation knows what I am
thinking—how fast the years have flown by! When I came to the White River from Idaho to become principal of Mountain Meadow Elementary, Taylor was only eight months old. It seems like
only yesterday!
So much has been accomplished by our staff since 1998. I knew that if we could create a school
for all kids that was good enough for my daughter, we would be creating something really special.
Now, nearly 17 years later, as superintendent of the district, I still have that same standard; our
commitment to every parent is to have schools, teachers, and even lessons that are good enough
for my own child, and your children! In the White River School District this is the “standard of care”
that we promise our students, our parents and our larger community!
This commitment and promise is reflected in many ways, but perhaps the most important is in our
belief that every single student who attends school in this district can, and will, learn—and learn at
a high level! We have high expectations for our students and for all of our staff members. Not only
do we believe our students can learn, we believe that we have the knowledge, skills, passion, and
persistence to ensure they do learn!
I began by referencing change. Much will continue to change in White River, but the core elements we have created will remain the same, through a culture that centers on effective team collaboration. Our teams will focus on the “right work” and “best practices that will have the greatest
positive impact on our students. We remain committed to stretching the aspirations and achievement levels of all students—including our students with special needs, as well as, our students
who are enrolled in advanced classes.
In short, we will do everything we can to ensure that every student is safe and secure, both physically and psychologically. And, we realize that students will not feel special unless they are learning, so again this year we will sharpen our focus on the learning of each student, in every classroom, kid by kid—skill by skill. Just what we would want for our own child! Now, bring on the students, and let’s work our magic!
All the best,
Tuesday, September 1st

Parent’s Right to
Review Records
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords
parents and eligible students over 18 years of age certain
rights with respect to the student’s education records. They
are:
1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education
records within 45 days of the day the district receives a request for access.
Parents or eligible students should submit to the appropriate school official a written request that identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect. The school official will make arrangements for access and notify the parent or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.
2.The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent or eligible student believes are
inaccurate or misleading. Parents or eligible students may ask
the White River School District to amend a record that they
believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the appropriate school official, clearly identify the part of the record
they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading.
If the district decides not to amend the record as requested by the parent or eligible student, the district will notify the
parent or eligible student of the decision and advise them of
their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment.
Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will
be provided to the parent or eligible student when notified of
the right to a hearing.
3.
The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure
without consent.
August, 2015
One exception which permits disclosure without consent
is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational
interests. A school official is a person employed by the district
as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff
member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement personnel); a person serving on the school board; a person or company with whom the district has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an
official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or
her tasks.
A school official has a legitimate educational interest if
the official needs to review an education record in order to
fulfill his or her professional responsibility.
Upon request, the district discloses education records
without consent to officials of another school district in which
a student seeks or intends to enroll. (Note: FERPA requires a
school district to make a reasonable attempt to notify the
student of the records request unless it states in its annual
notification that it intends to forward records on request.)
The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of
Education concerning alleged failures by the district to comply
with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of
the office that administers the FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave.
SW, Washington, DC 20202-4605.
In accordance with Board Policy No. 3250, the district is
prohibited from releasing any personally-identifiable records
or files about an individual student without written parental
consent. However, the district may release a list of students
belonging to a group, if not used for commercial purposes.
The district may also release photographs of students for public information purposes. A student's name will be excluded
from a listing of students upon written request by a parent.
To make such a request please refer to the designated box on
the Student Emergency Information Card.

School Health Law
LEAD TESTING
In 2002 the Legislature passed two important school health
laws. Children with Life-Threatening Conditions (SHB 2834) requires a medication or treatment order as a prerequisite for school
attendance for children who have “life-threatening conditions.” The
law defines “life-threatening condition” as a condition that will put
the child in danger of death during the school day. Conditions may
include severe allergies (e.g. food, insect), severe asthma, diabetes,
severe seizures, certain heart conditions as well as other medical
diagnoses.
Schools-Diabetic Students (ESSB 6641) requires schools to
prepare an individual health plan for each diabetic student, establish
a process for policy and delivery of training for staff on symptoms,
treatment and monitoring of students with diabetes. Additionally, it
allows parents to designate an adult, through proper legal procedures, to assist the student in managing his or her diabetes.
Parents and guardians of students with life-threatening conditions will need to have Licensed Health Care Provider medication/
treatment orders at school two weeks before school starts. The
nurse can then create a plan of care and train staff prior to the first
day of school.
Parents may want to make Licensed Health Care Provider
appointments as soon as possible. This will allow time for an appointment before back-to-school rush. Remember, many health care
providers are on vacation in August. If you have any questions
about these laws you may call your child’s school nurse.
The White River School District conducts periodic testing for lead in our drinking water. This testing is not required but is recommended by the
EPA and State Department of Health on a voluntary basis. The health and safety of students and
staff is one of our highest priorities, so we plan to
continue this voluntary testing.
Health Effects of Lead on Humans: The groups
most vulnerable to lead contamination include
unborn fetuses and young children. Ingestion of
lead by pregnant women can cause lowered birth
weight and slow down normal physical and mental development. Lead contamination in young
children, especially those under the age of six, can
result in lower IQ levels, impaired hearing, reduced attention span and poor classroom performance. At high levels, it can cause serious brain
damage.
In October of 1988, the U.S. Congress passed the
Lead Contamination Control Act, which specifically addressed the problems of lead in school
drinking water. A copy of the most recent test
results is available for public review. Please contact the Facilities Office at (360) 829-3983 if you
would like to view the test results or have any
other question regarding our lead-testing program.

WRSD Bullying and
Harassment Policy
No doubt, everyone would agree that one of the paramount duties of our public schools is to ensure a
safe and secure learning environment for the students entrusted to its care. Maintaining a positive
school culture where all students are free to realize
their full potential is a high priority in White River
School District. All Washington State school districts are required to have a policy in place that prohibits the harassment, intimidation, or bullying of
any student. Board Policy 3207 addresses this issue
and a recent amendment to the policy added language to specifically include the prohibition of harassment by electronic means (“cyberbullying”).
In essence, the policy states that there must be evidence of one or more of the following conditions in
order for an incident to meet the legal standard of
harassment, intimidation, and bullying:
 Physically harms a student or damages the student’s property; or
 Has the effect of substantially interfering with a
student’s education; or
 Is so severe, persistent, or pervasive that it creates an intimidating or threatening educational
environment; or
 Has the effect of substantially disrupting the orderly operation of the school.
The administrator at each school is responsible
for the enforcement of this policy. The district
policy includes both an Informal and Formal
Complaint Process.
For a complete copy of Board Policy 3207, including the Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying Report Form, please contact your school principal or
visit our website.

The BECCA
Truancy Bill
As parents, there is no greater challenge than that
of raising children and addressing the many challenges that will confront them as they grow.
However, education in particular has the potential to affect our children throughout their lives.
Of fundamental importance to a quality education is school attendance.
In the State of Washington, it is the law that all
children ages 8 to 18 attend school. In 1994, the
Washington State Legislature passed legislation
commonly known as the BECCA Bill, named for
a young Tacoma girl who was murdered while
living on the streets. Subsequent to the passage
of this legislation, a subsection was added addressing the attendance requirements for children
who are enrolled at ages 6 and 7. The overall
BECCA legislation acknowledges the fundamental importance of school attendance and works to
ensure that no child falls through the cracks.
Washington’s truancy law is intended to curb
school truancy before it becomes a problem. The
law requires that students attend school. If a student does not attend school, then the law requires
the school district to take action.
The truancy process can be complex and somewhat confusing. There are people who can help
you understand the process. White River School
District is committed to working with parents
and their children in order to ensure good school
attendance. If you have questions or want more
information, please feel free to contact the principal at your school.

Procedure for Discrimination Complaints
White River provides equal educational opportunity
and treatment for all students in all aspects of the
academic and activities program without discrimination. Students, parents/guardians, and staff are
eligible to file a complaint of alleged discrimination.
Anyone with an allegation of discrimination may
request an informal meeting with the compliance
officer, Mr. Scott Harrison at 360 829-3822, to
resolve their concerns. If unable to resolve the issue
at this meeting, or at any time, the complainant may
submit a signed written complaint to the compliance
officer. Furthermore, if formal investigation and review of a written complaint is not resolved satisfactorily, the complainant will be advised of further
steps that may be pursued. For more details of this
procedure, please refer to Board Policy 3210.
Every Monday, school will begin one hour
later than our usual time. This time is dedicated to our Professional Learning Communities work. During this time, grade
level and department teams across the
school district work together to plan units
of study, analyze student work and assessment data, discuss intervention and
enrichment opportunities and share effective teaching strategies. For more information, go to www.whiteriver.wednet.edu
and click on the Professional Learning
Communities link under “Learning in
White River.”
School Performance Reports
Each school in the State of Washington is required to publish an annual report to the public. White River School District will be providing these on each school’s web page this year,
along with a link to the OSPI site which contains additional school and district specific information. The information is updated in October. White River is currently under step 2 of
improvement and is setting aside 10% of its
Title 1 allocation for the purpose of professional development.
If an Internet connection is not available to
you, you can call the district office or your
school and request the School Performance
Report in an alternate format. In addition to
the information contained in this report, parents can also request specific information on
individual teacher qualifications.

White River School District will soon begin using an electronic flyer distribution program
called Peachjar. Peachjar replaces paper flyers.
Through Peachjar, each school can send e-flyers to
all families in the district. These e-flyers are also
posted on each school's website for at least one
month. Look for the Peachjar link on your school's
website.
If you provided your email address to your school
via Family Access this year or last year, a Peachjar
account has been established for you, and you will
receive an email from Peachjar with your login information. This is provided so that you can manage
your account and flyer delivery preferences. If you
did not provide your email address and would like
to receive Peachjar e-flyers, let your school office
know to add your email address to the district contact form.
If you are not receiving emails from Peachjar,
there are two possible reasons for this:
- Your email address is not on file with your
school. Let your school office know to add your
email address to the district contact form.
- The Peachjar emails are going into your spam
folder or you can't see the images in the
email. To prevent the e-flyers from going into your
spam folder, add "[email protected]" to your
email contacts. When you receive your first e-flyer,
be sure to click "always display images."
Peachjar is used exclusively for distribution of
school-approved flyers. Your email address will
not be shared or used for any other purpose.
9:00—11:00 a.m.

Volunteers make the impossible possible.
Have you moved recently?
In today’s schools, there are simply far more jobs and
responsibilities than there are people to do them. By
helping with special events and routine tasks, volunteers allow teachers and staff to focus more on helping
children learn and grow. The school can accomplish
more, and offer children and families more services,
with the help of volunteers.
White River School District Volunteers must:
If so, let the Elections office know so that you’ll get a
ballot come election time!

Complete a Volunteer Registration Form each year
Go to www.wei.sos.wa.gov and click on VOTERS

Pass a Washington State Patrol Criminal Background Check

Wear a district name tag, so staff and students will
recognize you as a safe volunteer

Sign in at the start of a volunteer shift. This lets
the office staff know you are in the building and
where they can find you if they need you. This
also ensures that you are covered by the district’s
liability insurance in case of an accident.
Transfer Process
For those who wish to request that their student attend a
school other than their home school there is an application
process. You will need to complete an Intra-District Student Transfer Application (if you live in distr ict but ar e
requesting attendance at a different elementary) or Application for Non-Resident Attendance (if you live out-ofdistrict but want your child to attend a White River school).
The completed form must be returned to the White River
School District Administration office, which is located at
240 North “A” Street, PO Box 2050, Buckley. Forms can be
obtained from the district office, the school offices, or
through our website. Go to www.whiteriver.wednet.edu.
Click on “About Us” and then “Forms”. In general, the District encourages students to attend their attendance area
school as it attempts to maintain class size balances across
the District.
Those who live out-of-district must also file Choice Transfer
Request with the distr ict in which the student r esides.
Parents of out-of-district students are encouraged to enroll
their students in their home district as an alternative plan in
case we cannot accommodate the request.
The district will be processing requests based on the return
date of the application and the space available, by grade level, at the school requested. Late summer requests for elementary intra-district or out-of-district transfers will be processed after the first week of school.

Child Abuse, Neglect and
Exploitation Prevention
Protecting a child is the most important
responsibility of a school authority. School officials are mandated by law to report any suspected sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, or injury of a child by any person under circumstances which cause harm to the child’s health,
welfare, or safety. (RCW 26.44.020). Child
Protective Services and law enforcement have
the responsibility to investigate reported situations. CPS and law enforcement may request
records about a child by mandated reporters for
review during a CPS investigation. (RCW
26.44.030).
Additionally, the law says upon receiving reports of alleged abuse or neglect, CPS or
law enforcement may interview children. The
interviews may be conducted at: school premises, day-care facilities, the child’s home, or at
other suitable locations outside of the presence
of parents. Parent notification must occur at the
earliest possible point in the investigation that
will not jeopardize the safety or protection of
the child or the course of the investigation.
(RCW 26.44.030). The bottom line is the safety
of the child.
The McKinney-Vento Act: The Basics
If you lost your housing and now live in a shelter,
motel, vehicle, camping ground, or temporary trailer;
on the street; doubled-up with family or friends; or in
another type of temporary or inadequate housing,
your child might be able to receive help through a
federal law called the McKinney-Vento Act. If your
current living circumstances meet the description
above, please complete the “Student Housing Questionnaire” on page 11 of this mailing.
Section 504 Rehabilitation Act of 1973
Reaffirmation of Compliance
It continues to be the policy of the White River School
District to promote nondiscrimination practices with regard to persons with handicaps, including accessibility,
reasonable accommodation, and employment. It is the responsibility of the district to conduct business and programs in such a way as to assure nondiscriminatory services to students, staff, and the public.
The district has established a Section 504 Grievance
Procedure to investigate and process complaints of discrimination. Such complaints should be directed to the
Director of Human and Administrative Services, White
River School District, P.O. Box 2050, Buckley, WA
98321
Reaffirmation of Equal Opportunity Employment Policy
It has been and continues to be the policy of the White River School District to recruit, hire, train, and promote persons in all job classifications without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, marital status, or sensory, physical or mental handicap; and to promote equal access to all educational and related programs for all students
without regard to any of the above considerations. All personnel actions will conform to an Affirmative Action Program, the basic purpose of which is to further the utilization of minorities at all levels and in all segments of the work
force; and to provide equality of treatment to all employees with regard to the terms, benefits, and privileges of employment.
A continuing utilization analysis will be conducted to assure that promotion and job opportunity decisions are in accord with the principles of equal employment opportunity and that those decisions account for all valid, relevant factors with respect to ability, performance, potential, and real job requirements. The Director of Human and Administrative Services, acting as Affirmative Action Officer, will have the duty of monitoring the Affirmative Action Program and make all reports that are required.
All employees must at all times be aware of the spirit and principle of equal employment opportunity and cooperate
fully to assure the success of the Affirmative Action Program.
