That is the only screen attendance will be accessible for Nurses and the Health module. Teachers and attendance will see the code “OFF” which would mean that the student could be meeting with the principal, counselor, health office, etc. It will not specifically indicate that the student was in the health office. Instruction document can be found here<\/a>. *The instructions indicate to select “Add” in the Health Log Student. You actually need to select “Add Wizard<\/u><\/strong>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\n CAPSTONE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking for 1-2 nurses to host a COCC Capstone student this spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Monday, May 5th – Monday, June 3rd<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 nurse could be the sole preceptor for 4 weeks or 2 nurses can split the time into 2 weeks each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let Tami know asap.

Here are<\/a> details about how to effectively engage Family Liaisons to support our work. If you need someone to translate or interpret a family communication (including for time-sensitive requests) please review the various options available to you here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Immigration information<\/u><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Staff are prohibited from asking about or documenting students’ or families’ immigration status, even when doing so might be well-intentioned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If staff want to coordinate extra support for students or families who might be undocumented, it should be organized based on an educational purpose, not based on immigration status. Sttudents\/families themselves then choose<\/em> to opt into or access these, without needing to disclose their status or without staff needing to know it. Examples: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Title IX and gender support protocols<\/u><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have received several questions about the status of our gender support protocol<\/a>. Yes, our procedures for supporting gender-expansive students are still in place. Thank you for initiating this process when a student indicates a need for support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Regarding Title IX more generally, while the national landscape is bringing some policy-based changes to our Title IX procedures (generally reverting back to our procedures from a few years ago–more on that later), please continue to contact me for any concerns or complaints related to Title IX, which includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n PURPLE UP DAY!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Oregon National Guard Child & Youth Program\/Oregon Military Teen Panel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hello! We are Lorene Moore, Lead Child & Youth Coordinator for the Oregon National Guard Child & Youth Program, and Barret Grimm, Senior Ambassador on the Oregon Military Teen Panel. The Oregon Military Teen Panel is composed of twenty-one National Guard Youth who strive to be an active part of their community. Current members reside in Salem, Sublimity, Albany, Portland, Estacada, Sherwood, Klamath Falls and Happy Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Oregon, many families are going through a service member being gone for deployment. We are here to support Oregon\u2019s military youth as they go through military life challenges and face occurring obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are reaching out to you today to request that you show your support for military kids in your school district by participating in PurpleUp Day!<\/em> <\/a>this April, which is recognized nation-wide as Month of the Military Child. Creating a spirit day on April 10th<\/sup> in schools across the state where students and staff wear purple would provide a visual way to recognize and celebrate military youth, especially National Guard youth here in Oregon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On April 10th, local groups and communities are encouraged to take part in PurpleUp Day<\/em><\/a>!<\/em> by wearing or displaying purple. The goal is for military kids to SEE that they are supported and loved by their local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Military OneSource, in 2023 there were 8,259 National Guard Members in Oregon. That includes 4,713 Army Guard and 2,159 Air Guard Members, most of whom have families and children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attached is a flier promoting PurpleUp Day!<\/a><\/em> Please consider taking part in this annual display of support. Your participation matters!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is some more information <\/a>regarding Month of the Military Child: Please let me know what other questions you may have! <\/p>\n\n\n SAFETY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n AED Signage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the next week, you will be receiving laminated AED operation instructions.
