District’s response to questions re: AQI<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Thank you for reaching out to us with your concerns regarding AQI. I\u2019m not sure if you\u2019ve already seen our AQI information on our website here<\/a>, but if not, this explains how we receive the AQI information that schools use to make their decisions about outdoor activities for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the website there is a link<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a parent, please feel free to contact your student\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Class Registration and School Reports<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michelle does not have any community classes to recommend. There are multiple companies offering it including the American Red Cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Scott McDonald<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following applies to personal devices only and not school issued student iPads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/bls.fyi\/mfa-student\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Printed as well as Spanish versions of these instructions are available from the Tier One Technology representative at each school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following BLS applications are commonly accessed by students from personal devices.  Lexia, Dreambox, Clever, Canvas, Really Great Reading, Google Drive<\/p>\n\n\n\n
