HERO KIDS REGISTRY
HERO KIDS REGISTRY
What is Hero Kids Registry?
- An easy, no-cost way to share critical health information before an emergency (for Oregon children and young adults through age 26).
- This information will allow first responders and hospital emergency departments to quickly and easily access critical health information when an emergency occurs.
Share this resource with your families!!!!

RELIGION AND HOLIDAYS
RELIGION AND HOLIDAYS
From Kinsey Martin
Religious tolerance and inclusive practices were an area that the majority of our staff rated as very low (i.e. poor experiences with this, as employees in our organization) on our DEI staff survey last year.
Please review this information regarding how we can ensure inclusion and belonging for students, families, and staff of all religious and non-religious backgrounds.

TRANSLATION SERVICES
TRANSLATION SERVICES
From Kinsey Martin
Please DO NOT:
- Use a bilingual staff member who has not been trained/qualified/compensated.
- Use Google Translate or other auto-translate tools (S’mores newsletter translation, etc) at any time.
- These practices have significant legal, ethical, quality, and liability issues.
All staff (including administrators) have access to Linguist Link and should make their own requests for any translation/interpretation needs. Please let Michelle or Tami know if you need assistance with account set up and use.
A few exceptions:
- If you have an emergency (gas leak, lock-down, etc), the district Communications and Multilingual teams will support the communication and translation.
- If you need an immediate interpreter (urgent, couldn’t have been predicted in advance):
- If it’s not needed for a few hours, put it into LL and mark it urgent.
- If that doesn’t work, check whether a CAFE Program member is available,
- Ask a Family Liaison (there are times they will say No),
- Use the On-Demand form (this form is also available on the Linguist Link home page). Follow all directions on the form very carefully.

CPR/FIRST AID TRAINING
CPR/FIRST AID TRAININGS
From the Safety Department:
The district is currently offering a blended model for the First Aid/CPR class.
- The class will be done online with a hands-on skills assessment to follow.
- The online portion of the class should take about three (3) hours with the skills assessment to follow with a first aid/CPR trainer that will take about 20 minutes.
- The online course can be done to fit your schedule.
- Your First Aid/CPR card will not be issued until all portions of class are completed.
The process will be as follows:
- Sign up for the class in Performance Matters
- Michelle Spetic will send you a link from HSI/Medic to get started ([email protected]).
- Please check your Junk Mail if it does not appear in your regular inbox.
- After each section of the online session, there will be a one or two question quiz.
- When scheduled, the hands-on skills assessment schedule will be emailed to you to register if you have completed the online portion. You can only do the in-person skills assessment after you have completed the online portion of the class.
- The in-person skills assessment will be done in 30-minute increments.
- First Aid cards will not be sent out until both portions of the class are completed.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving break!!!
