Post Vaping Letter
From Aimee Snyder that went out in Admin Blogs.
Below are links to a family letter (in English and Spanish) about student vaping and a short-newsletter announcement with a link to the letters. Share these letters however you communicate with your families. We’re aiming for schools to share these letters between January 23-30.
· Newsletter announcement (includes both English and Spanish announcements; links to generic letters)
· Generic ENGLISH family letter about vaping
· Generic SPANISH family letter on vaping
Your school’s Public Health Specialist can make a copy of the letter for your school and will include their contact info so they can field questions. If you don’t know who your Public Health Specialist is, see the list below:
· Bend Senior High, Pilot Butte Middle, Bend Tech Academy: Lindsay ([email protected])
· La Pine High and Middle: Amanda ([email protected])
· Mountain View High, Sky View Middle: Lani ([email protected])

Student Conference Data Reminders
Reminder, Student Conference is ready, so please be inputting your contacts in Synergy. Here is a quick SCREENCAST to show you how to do it.
Jess figured out how to mass upload for classroom lessons, workshops, etc. so reach out to me if you want to get those in your data (yes!!). It isn’t perfect yet, but it is something.
Jess is working with Rachel Mavis to get a report built, so you can all pull data quickly.
Jess has gathered initial data and will share soon!
Keep up the great work. This data is super valuable, especially at a time where we are being pulled in many directions. We can use this data to bring awareness to the complexities of our job as we look at program planning!
