AFFIRMATION OF THE WEEK
Peace is possible, even in chaos.
IT
From Scott McDonald
It is Cyber October once again!
Beginning next week look for tech info, tips and tricks as we recognize Cyber October. This information will be delivered this year via “The Week” staff newsletter starting Monday.
We will also be bringing back the “Phishing Derby” with some prizes for reporting suspicious emails.
OFFICE OF POLICY AND ADVOCACY
From Kinsey Martin
Mark your calendar: our district-wide Latino Family Night will be Thursday, November 12! We’d love to see which school gets the most student/family participation at the event, by percentage of your school’s Latino population—more to come on that. Remember: Staff are welcome, and dinner, performances, and activities are always provided free for everyone.
SAFE SCHOOLS – VECTOR TRAINING
Safe Schools trainings are due ASAP!
STUDENT WELL BEING
From Jennifer Hauth
Student Resources for Mental Health:
We promote 988 and Safe Oregon and they are accessible on student’s ipads. This is consistent with what our Health teachers teach in grades 6-12 through our shared slide deck. Safe Oregon is intended to anonymously report safety threats at school and is not intended for suicide intervention or mental health crisis, so the response may be delayed.
