MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION DOSING ADJUSTMENTS

Tami spoke with the local pediatrician group. For students with medication dosing adjustments, the directions will be written on the prescription bottles. “Week 1 – Give 1 tablet every day at 12pm. Week 2. Increase to 2 tablets every day at 12pm”. It is important to ensure that staff understand the dosing changes. Option – put medication bottle in a Ziploc bag with a colorful highlighted note about the dosing change/dates.  Highlight and verbally discuss with staff who are administering medication. Follow up and ensure correct dose was given when a new week starts. 

Call Tami if you have any questions.

FROM ANDREA WILSON IN HR:

Here is an updated link to our employee benefits webpage. We want to draw your attention to the wellness resources that everyone has access to as well. Our goal is to update this quarterly. Thank you!

CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE PREVENTION

Keeping nurses in the loop about how child sexual abuse education is being addressed at the primary and secondary levels. 

From Aimee Snyder – 

I just wanted to share what we’re doing with the secondary Health teachers for child sexual abuse prevention education. Julie and Marci are aware of this too, though they’re a farther behind in getting to implementation and would only be field testing this a 1-2 elem schools.

The secondary health teachers who requested Safety Matters (a child sexual abuse prevention curricula that complies with Erin’s Law) have gotten access to the curricula and have started the 3-hour online training. We (me and KIDS Center) oriented them to the portal and got them started on the training. They are completing up until a certain part, then we’ll meet back on Feb 15 to finish it in person so we can talk through questions and uncomfortable parts.

I’m working on drafting a parent letter (with KIDS Center and Dean) that would go out to parents/guardians before it’s taught in a class. The letter would be an opt-out letter but will also include parent education and handouts to help parents engage their children in discussions on the topic at home. We’ll also refer them to community-based trainings where parents can learn more about the subject.

I have been working with Dean on this, but I thought you may want to be informed in case someone asks about what we’re doing for Erin’s Law or online safety for students.

Below are upcoming community events you could refer parents/families to attend to learn more about child sexual abuse prevention. 

 You could also attend these yourself if you’d like more information. Attached are handouts for the Jan 24 and 26 events and a handout for some of KIDS Center’s upcoming SafetyNet trainings. This is KIDS Center’s full list of upcoming child sexual abuse prevention trainings for parents/families and community members.

COVID TESTS

Well…there really isn’t an update….

• We are still waiting for the new tests (that I ordered in December) to arrive. Once I receive the new tests, I will send them out to schools. 
• No word from the FDA about extensions to the extended expiration date tests. 

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR DAY

In the United States, Martin Luther King, Jr., Day is observed annually on the third Monday in January. The day commemorates the life and work of Dr. King, who was a Baptist minister and prominent leader in the American civil rights movement. People are encouraged to use the day to “reflect on the principles of racial equality and nonviolent social change espoused by Dr. King.” The holiday is typically observed with events such as marches and rallies and speeches by politicians and civil rights leaders.

King was born on January 15, 1929. He rose to the fore of the civil rights movement in 1955 with the Montgomery bus boycott that followed the arrest of Rosa Parks, an African American woman who had violated the city’s racial segregation ordinances when she refused to give her seat on a bus to a white passenger. An advocate of Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy of using nonviolent resistance to effect social change, King promoted the use of nonviolent means to bring an end to racial segregation in the United States. In 1964 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace for his efforts. He was assassinated in 1968.

Efforts to create a national holiday honoring King began soon after his assassination, although legislation for a federal holiday was not passed until 1983. The first nationwide observance of the holiday occurred in 1986. – Britannica

ADI’S ACT

What is Adi’s Act?

Adi’s Act is named after Adi Staub who died by suicide in 2017 after struggling in high school with coming out as transgender. She struggled to fit in as a transgender teen despite the support of her family and friends. As Adi progressed through high school, she began to feel marginalized by her peers and school staff. Two years after her transition, Adi completed suicide.

Senate Bill 52 (Adi’s Act) requires all Oregon school districts to develop a comprehensive model suicide plan that addresses policy and protocols related to suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention, and address populations at higher risk for youth suicide.

Currently, the Bend-La Pine School District has a Suicide Prevention Protocol in place that addresses suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. A work group composed of BLS district administrators, counselors, and public health staff are actively updating our current procedures to include more comprehensive evidence-based practices. 

A few of our nurses will soon be attending a training on the BLS updated Suicide Risk Screen Assessment. During our nurse’s meeting on January 18, theses nurses will provide our team with the information they have obtained that will allow nurses, who are ASIST trained, to help with suicide risk screenings. With training, nurses can recognize a student in crisis and conduct risk screenings to determine the level of support a student may need. Nurses can also contribute with the development of a safety plan that meets the specific needs of that student. 

UPCOMING COMMUNITY EVENTS

From Kinsey:

Our Office of D.E.I. has several district-wide family engagement and/or community partnership events coming up!  Please check out specifics on each one, below, and mark your calendars and/or share as applicable.  Principal presence at these events is critical to our families—thank you for your participation!

Latino Family Night – Flyer with details here.  This has been emailed to families, posted on our Spanish FB page, and a limited number of paper copies are being distributed.  Feel free to share in your newsletter or otherwise help promote.  Please also consider attending—great opportunity to deepen relationships and trust with our families!  

Asian Family Night – Flyer with details here.  Same requests for support and participation as for Latino Family Night, above.

Flip the Script  – This is a learning and celebration opportunity, to develop community amongst and with our Black students and families, and to launch Black History Month.  

If you (administrators) are interested in participating in the event, please register (using the QR code on the flyer, or direct link here)at your earliest convenience—first come first served! Please do not yet share this flyer with certified or classified staff.  At the request of our Black Student and Family Union, we want to prioritize administrator and family registration first, and then will expand to other roles.  

Alliance – This (draft still!) is a youth and adult collective for LGBT student success.  This is mostly an FYI for you—you are welcome if interested, but please do not share this info broadly.  If you have a particular student, staff member, or family who has been seeking support related to this topic, feel free to share with them specifically.  We will work with GSAs, LEAD/equity coaches, and other key roles to reach the priority populations. 

CYBERSECURITY TRAINING

On Thursday, February 2nd, IT will be pushing out a 30-minute Cyber Security training called KnowBe4 Cybersecurity Awareness Training. All staff can expect a link in their email. This training can be completed on February 2^nd or 3^rd during your workday.

STAFF & FAMILY NEWSLETTER

STAFF AND FAMILY NEWSLETTERS

The information below was inlcuded in the BLS Staff and Family Newsletter yesterday. 

Respiratory illness having big impact on our schools

Our schools are currently experiencing an increase in student and staff illness. Increasing respiratory illnesses are causing increased pediatric hospitalizations across the state and in Central Oregon. Oregon hospitals with pediatric ICUs have all shifted to crisis standards of care. According to the Oregon Health Authority, this means is that resources are severely limited, more patients are in need of critical care than what hospitals can supply, and moving patients to another critical care center is not an option. 

Here’s what you can do to help keep yourself and others healthy:

• Practice measures that were practiced during the pandemic.
• Stay home if feeling ill (learn more about when to keep a student home, based on symptoms). 
• Avoid contact with those who are sick.
• Wash hands frequently.
• Clean and disinfect surfaces.
• Wear a face covering while indoors.
• Stay up to date on all routine vaccinations including flu shots and COVID-19 boosters. 
• Flu Shots – It’s not too late to vaccinate.
• COVID-19 Vaccination – Vaccine boosters and additional doses

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:

3. Please check your Junk Mail if it does not appear in your regular inbox.  
4. After each section of the online session, there will be a one or two question quiz.
5. 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.  
6. The in-person skills assessment will be done in 30-minute increments. 
7. First Aid cards will not be sent out until both portions of the class are completed.

EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUP (ERG)

EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUP (ERG)

From Kinsey Martin: I am excited to share a new opportunity we are offering our staff and colleagues!  This fall we are launching Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), available to all Bend-La Pine Schools’ employees.  

You might remember our employee survey last fall, on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace.  Our leadership team’s analysis of the survey responses illuminated many culture and climate improvement opportunities for our staff, colleagues, and ourselves.  

The purpose of these ERGs is to provide spaces for employees to network and build community (Joy!) with one another around common interests, identities, and experiences.
