DIABETES

From Erica Anderson:

The entire month of November is Diabetes Awareness Month. Give those around you fighting this disease an extra squeeze this month.

Type 1 Diabetes Awareness

HERO KIDS

*NURSES – Please encourage your families of students with complicated or chronic health conditions, developmental disabilities or mental health conditions to register for this program. Currently, there are only 11 children in Bend/La Pine that are registered with this program.

*Encourage your schools to include this information in their family newsletters.

HERO Kids Registry 

HERO Kids Registry is a voluntary, no-cost system that lets any Oregon family record critical health information about their child before an emergency. Registry information can be accessed quickly by EMS and hospital emergency departments at the moment they need it.

Registering with HERO Kids is especially useful for young people who are medically fragile, or for those who have complex conditions, developmental disabilities, or mental health conditions. Young people in a crisis can’t always communicate their needs. Family members may not be present, or they may too distressed to help. Language barriers can impede communication. HERO Kids Registry can help offset some of these challenges.

Parents and legal guardians can register their child or young adult with HERO Kids online, and there is a paper registration option for people who prefer it. Young adults aged 15-26 can register themselves. HERO Kids Registry is secure and HIPAA-compliant.

Please share this information with your families in your next family newsletter. It is specifically for Families of Students with Complicated or Chronic
Health Conditions, Developmental Disabilities or Mental Health Conditions.

FUN FACT

Black Friday, aka the day after Thanksgiving, is the busiest day for plumbers.

Sure, it’s a big day for shoppers—but don’t forget the drainage professionals. Plumbing and drainage companies don’t really get the Friday after Thanksgiving off since it’s one of their busiest days of the year. (Why? We think you can imagine.) In fact, the day is so busy for these services that Roto-Rooter Plumbing and Water Cleaning company actually calls it “Brown Friday.”

DIABETES

From Erica Anderson:

The entire month of November is Diabetes Awareness Month. Give those around you fighting this disease an extra squeeze this month.

Type 1 Diabetes Awareness

HEALTH MANAGEMENT PLANS

Seizure HMP 

If you are having difficulty printing the seizure HMP, try the following steps (sent by Steph Campbell). 

To print the seizure HMP, hit print, select advanced, on the upper right corner there is an option that allows to check Print As Image.  Check mark that then hit ok.  This should allow the seizure HMP to print with all the info. 

SPED 

• SPED – Although nurses upload student health management plans under the “document” tab in Synergy, if the student is also receiving SPED services, please send the health management plan to the records clerks to upload into the SPED area in Synergy. Some health plans are not getting to case managers and have not been uploaded on the SPED side.
  • [email protected] (Please indicate that the HMP needs to be uploaded with the SPED documents.)

Discontinuing Health Management Plans

If a parent indicates that their student no longer needs a health management plan for health conditions such as seizures, asthma, life threatening allergy, please ask them to have their student’s health care provider write a note indicating that a HMP is no longer needed. 

• Do you need to go through every condition and start calling parent/guardian? Tami encourages this but it is not a priority. Moving forward, please inform parents/guardians that a note is needed. If they refuse, please note that in the health conditions comment section in Synergy but do not delete the health condition. Please continue to have a current health management plan in the Synergy documents. If the parent refuses to sign the HMP, just note that in the parent signature line (include the date). 

HEALTH CONDITIONS

Earliest Return to School Date

• When you are in Synergy and come across a student with a health condition of “earliest return to school date”, please delete that condition. That was for back in our COVID fun times.
• OR…if you have an abundance of free time, you can run a report that identifies students with these health conditions. Substitute nurses can do this as well.

Health Condition Comments

• Expired notes that are still present in health conditions.
  • Condition has expired but has comments.
    • Example: If a student had encopresis in 2^nd grade and the condition resolved, end date the condition. When running a health conditions report (HLT401), at the bottom of the page, you will see “Display Options”, select “Suppress Expired Conditions” and “Suppress Conditions with any Expiration Date”. When you run the report, that condition and comments will not show up.
• Condition is still active but comments are outdated.
  • Example: Asthma, comments are “8/26/19 Student has note from MD to self-carry inhaler and take 2 puffs pre PE.”
  • End date the asthma and start new asthma condition. Comments could say, “self carries inhaler, see HMP”

NICH – Novel Interventions in Children’s Healthcare 

Eligibility & Referral Process Update

NOTE: The NICH Referral form is no longer useable due to the hospital no longer allowing PHI on this platform. To make a referral to the NICH Program please contact our Referral Coordinator Samareh Shadbeh at [email protected]. We apologize for the inconvenience and have a great day.

NICH serves youth, ages birth to age 18+, with complex and/or chronic health conditions. NICH specifically targets the top 5% of patients with the highest risk (medical and psychosocial complexity) once less intensive interventions have been unsuccessful at impacting the child’s health, medication management, medical care and utilization trends.

As an intensive home- and community-based program, NICH assigns participating youth and their families an Interventionist who provides 24/7 real-time access to (1) strategic family and systems interventions, (2) health systems integration and patient needs alignment, and (3) resource access for family and patient optimization. NICH Interventionists engage families via weekly home visits, daily phone/text communications, attending appointments and can provide real-time updates to medical and community providers allowing for coordinated interventions across settings and improved management of medical regimens.

ELEMENTARY

Growth and Development

Tami reached out to Julie Walker, BLS Elementary Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Systems, regarding where BLS is at with adopting a new, more inclusive curriculum. Per Julie, we are currently not in the adoption process for this and would most likely begin next school year with a plan to implement in the 25-26 school year. 

HIGH DESERT ESD

From Nancy Sorlie, HDESD PT

It was brought to my attention that the ESD has a new policy regarding the temporary accommodation form and process. Our legal department said that we can only loan equipment to kids who are on an IEP or 504. This will affect those students we have been talking about – Broken legs, casts etc.  So the process will need to change if we are to loan walkers for example. I remember working with MaryLou and she would always create a 504 for these type of students but the recent nurses don’t know about this.

HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

Stress Management

When stress occurs, the body releases cortisol, insulin, and ghrelin hormones, which cause unhealthy food cravings.

Certain foods can boost levels of serotonin (a feel-good chemical), lower blood pressure and boost the immune system.

STOCK MEDICATIONS

There have been a few inquiries about having stock medications such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, diphenhydramine available in our schools. At this time, BLS will not provide stock medications to students other than nalaxone and epinephrine (see information below).

1. Oregon pharmacy law does not (yet) have carve-outs to prescribe any medications to an “entity” (ie the school population) with the exception of epi and naloxone.
2. Oregon Board of Pharmacy requires that any entity that dispenses non-prescription medication have a license/certificate from them. I believe the license required is for a “non-prescription drug outlet.” I think it’s a few hundred dollars a year. It would be prudent for district legal to review that requirement if the program is going to be official.
3. Pending updates, school medication administration laws currently don’t permit stock OTC medications; OAR 581-021-0037 requires medications be provided by parent/guardian or of-age student in their original container.

Nonbinary teen wins discrimination lawsuit against Greater Albany Public Schools.

Nonbinary teen wins discrimination lawsuit against Greater Albany Public SchoolsA federal jury in Eugene concluded the district and a former principal violated the U.S. Constitution, Title IX and Oregon law.www.opb.org

This story is a good reminder about the importance of using the bias incident reporting and response process. Each of us is responsible to ensure that students, families, staff, and community members feel a sense of belonging and dignity in our schools. This involves actively promoting equity and inclusion and standing up against harmful acts that run counter to these values. 

If you see/experience a bias incident, report it!!

SAFETY

District’s response to questions re: AQI

Thank you for reaching out to us with your concerns regarding AQI. I’m not sure if you’ve already seen our AQI information on our website here, but if not, this explains how we receive the AQI information that schools use to make their decisions about outdoor activities for the day.

Within the website there is a link to the Oregon Health Authorities for School Outdoor Activities During Wildland Fire Events which are the official guidelines we use to make the best decision for outdoor activities.

We provide our school administrators with these tools and guidelines to help them decide throughout the day to continue with, move inside, or cancel recess and other outdoor activities for their individual schools.

As a parent, please feel free to contact your student’s teacher or administrator to discuss options if your student needs to be kept inside during AQI readings that differ from the OHA and district guidelines due to health concerns.

CPR/FIRST AID

Class Registration and School Reports

The First Aid/CPR course should now be up and running in UKG and staff can sign up there. This video tells them how to sign up for courses in the Learning Module section of UKG: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EL9wdEOgB15HtsznQjK6OtdHAUlY9wK9/view

Stephanie Bent sends out quarterly reports to all the schools that tells them who and how many staff are certified. They should be getting a report soon.

Michelle does not have any community classes to recommend. There are multiple companies offering it including the American Red Cross.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

From Scott McDonald

The following applies to personal devices only and not school issued student iPads.

Students have always been able to access Bend La Pine Schools digital applications from a personal device (such as a cell phone or desktop computer )while at home. This year, access from a personal device is still encouraged, but in the interest of security and data privacy, just a bit more challenging.

Students will need to complete multifactor authentication prior to accessing BLS applications on their personal device.  Multifactor authentication adds a critical second layer of security before any student information is visible on a device that is not known by our organization.    The steps to complete multi-factor authentication can be found on the following link:

https://bls.fyi/mfa-student

Printed as well as Spanish versions of these instructions are available from the Tier One Technology representative at each school. 

It is important to note that the most efficient way to complete the steps for multi-factor authentication is by using a student iPad.  We in IT would strongly encourage sending iPads home to complete the MFA process (especially for elementary age students). 

The following BLS applications are commonly accessed by students from personal devices.  Lexia, Dreambox, Clever, Canvas, Really Great Reading, Google Drive

NURSE BREAKS

HEALTHY SCHOOLS

UpShift Program Update

We are continuing to implement the UpShift program at ALL high schools this year as an alternative to suspension program to vaping. At this time, you should have identified which of your building administrators will serve as the UpShift Coordinator.

Starting next week, any new UpShift team members will be trained on either the UpShift Coordinator or UpShift Specialist role at their schools.  

For those of you who have already completed an UpShift training in the past, we’ve prepared some helpful refresher videos that you can refer to as needed. Here’s what’s available:  

1.    Overview of UpShift Training Video :This video provides a comprehensive background on UpShift, explaining the ‘why’ behind it, the different UpShift roles, and how we track and monitor our efforts.

2.    UpShift Specialists Refresher Video : Designed for those who deliver the Teen Intervene Curriculum to adolescents.

3.    UpShift Coordinator Refresher Video : If you’re involved in coordinating adolescent disciplinary responses, contacting parents/guardians, or screening students for substance use disorder risk levels, this video is for you.  

4.    UpShift Google Drive Tutorial : Learn how to navigate the Bend – La Pine Schools UpShift folder and access your School – Site folder efficiently.

If you have questions or need further guidance, please reach out to me or the Public Health Specialist at your school. Your success in the program is important to us, and we’re here to support you!

Thank you for working through any implementation barriers and being committed to UpShift. Contact Heather Tang, if you have questions or need support for implementation.

DIABETES INFORMATION

Training School Staff About Hypoglycemia

Should a student experience a low blood sugar, it is safest to have the student remain where they are and treat immediately with fast acting sugar. We’ve heard about teachers having students with low blood sugar walk to the office with a buddy for treatment. If at all possible, treat them right where they are. 

Review Provider Orders

Please remember to always review current medical provider orders prior to administering insulin. The quick reference face sheet may not necessarily reflect the most updated orders. 

From Erica Anderson

Here are some fun things that parents can get for their new T1D diagnosis. After diagnosis, these kiddos can use all the fun things they can get. I always let my new T1D parents know about these things, figured you guys may also want these resources.

1: D-Box: This Free box is full of some essential items + fun things for kids diagnosed within 1 year of applying. Fun fact, that pic they used on their website is the one I took of Cade’s box. I am pretty much famous 😉:

https://www.touchedbytype1.org/d-box#requestdbox

2: Bag of Hope: This free bag comes from JDRF. It includes Rupert stuffed animal which is the JDRF mascot: JDRF Bag of Hope

3: Snail mail Club: This is a program that matches T1D kids with other T1D kids to be pen pals. Often it’s a kid same age/sex but different state.

Snail Mail Club

4: Courage-Wisdom-Hope kit: This is a more educational free box that includes information from other T1D and health care providers:

EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUP INFORMATION

From Kinsey Martin:

We are working to improve the workplace experiences and sense of belonging of our employees.  One of the many ways we are doing this is through co-designed systems of support and networking called Employee Resource Groups (ERGs).  Details here.
Last year, a few different ERGs (groups for employees of color, female leaders, and LGBTQ+ staff,  with allies in each) met throughout the year, with awesome facilitators and lots of fun activities!  Thanks to those of you who joined those groups.  We are re-launching groups for 23-24, and would like to invite you:
If you are interested in learning more about our ERGs, signing up to participate in an existing group, or suggesting a new group, please fill out the interest form available on page 2 of the link above.  We’ll reach out in early October to those who indicate interest by Wednesday, Sept 27th.  

Information on our Employee Resource Groups can always be found on the staff Portal’s new Equity page, under ‘Employee Resources and Programs.
