All books are available for FREE. There is no charge for shipping.


Skills Trades Fair

From HDESD:

We are two months away from the Skilled Trades Fair! 

The fair will be in the First Interstate Bank Center at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds from 9:00-1:00pm on Friday, November 17th.  Please see the attached flyer for a partial list of companies attending. 

If you would like to register your students, please use this link. Deadline to sign up will be November 1st.  We will be sending logistics closer to the event when everyone has signed up.  This is being sent to building counselors, CTE teachers, and admin, so please coordinate with your building for signup and chaperones.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or Tracy Wilson-Scott.  We look forward to seeing you!

Suicide Risk Screen Process Reminders

Please use the most updated version of the C-SSRS that is updated in all 3 locations (portal, counselor toolkit, and google drive). In line with our protocol, there is a spot to document the lethal means conversation with parent/caregiver at the top of the form, as well as a reminder at the bottom of the form that parent notification is required each time a screen is given, even when “no” is the last answer on the C-SSRS.

Do you want to download, open, and edit the C-SSRS? Download Adobe Pro in Self Service to open and edit all of your pdf documents.

April Jorgenson is still the point of contact for risk screens. Please use BLSend to get those to her until we transition to our intervention software system. 


Hatching Results: Counselor Use of Time Workshop

Here are the slides from the “Use of Time Workshop.” There are a lot of great resources that are linked in the slides.
