Important Information
We have been waiting a long time for this day. I am so excited to have our La Pine High Hawks back in the building! Here is a great video that was filmed at our school!
Below is information regarding what attendance looks like in Hybrid and when calls home will be made:
- Teachers record attendance in Synergy for the students in person
- Continue to call parents informing them of their student(s) with an NPV code. The call will go out the next school day following the virtual class. The calls go out at 11:00 am.
- Students with an Unexcused or Unverified absence on a scheduled in-person day will get a call home on the same day as the scheduled in-person class
To Do
IPSI Survey – Our ICCL Team has been working hard on some logistics with IPSI. They will have some more details coming your way on what IPSI will look like. In the meantime, they are working on placing students in a purposeful placement regarding IPSI for a longer-term concept. Some reminders about IPSI: To go directly to the Survey: Click HERE
- Teachers will host one IPSI session every day. One during Cohort A and one during Cohort B
- Teachers will have another PREP every day during the other IPSI
- LPHS have chosen to place students in IPSI for safety, accountability, and to offer much needed educational support for our students.
Goals for IPSI Placement:
- To ensure that every bus rider, or student without a ride until 3:45, has a targeted placement in IPSI #1 and #2 so they have a safe place to be at school and the instructional support is purposeful. For Safety
- To offer targeted instructional support for students who are credit deficient due to CDL or those who need added support in subjects during hybrid. For Success
- To offer targeted instructional support for any student at LPHS who wishes to supplement their learning. For Supplement
The survey is designed to ask staff members which IPSI they’d be willing to run for added instructional support for those who need it and which classes they’d be willing to run for supplemental, educational enrichment for students as well. Please Note: This survey is just for a sense of ideas. Numbers are guiding most of out focus and placement. We may place students in your IPSI with another direction in mind. As well, due to numbers you may have all your IPSI time be devoted to helping students who need more support. We cannot guarantee teachers will be able to offer enrichment or supplemental IPSI for students, programs, etc.
DUE: Here is the survey again – It will take less than five minutes! SURVEY

What’s up with February 12th?
Our district has made the decision to change our school day for Friday, February 12th to distance learning, instead of in-person, to ensure staff are able to receive their vaccines. We will run our Feb 12th distance learning for Cohort B only. For more details please see the letter from our Superintendent, HERE.
1) See Cohort A live on Thursday and do lesson x.
2) Friday, regardless of whether it is your entire crew of kids (both cohorts) or just one (Cohort B), do an isolated get-to-know-you/community builder whatever that does not advance your ongoing lessons.
3) Monday is a day off (President’s Day).
4) Tuesday you see Cohort B and give the same live lesson x that you did on Thursday with Cohort A.
Wins: Classes remain aligned. Flexibility whether it is a whole group or single cohort on Friday. Worst case scenario is that cohort A misses a community builder.
Instructional Practices
Remote learning isn’t a new concept. Schools closed in the 1930s due to the Polio outbreak and lessons were taught via radios. Check out the other correlations to our current situation in this article. I am beyond impressed with the work you are doing to recreate how we serve our families and students!
You Need to take Good Care of Yourself – Last week, the blog focused on the unique needs of students entering classrooms for the first time in many, many months.
This week, they are focusing on teachers. They recognizing that all of the staff have been through experiences that are complicated, stressful, challenging, depressing.
We know teachers will best be able to care for our students, if they give themselves permission to recognize their own self-care needs. This week’s blog encourages all of us to take simple actions to minimize those stressors during the workday.
