SEL Concerns 

State Assessments (2/3 & 4/5 Teams only): 

Please complete your assigned training modules from the email titled “Testing info” on 4/8/21.  I need a signed testing affidavit from each of you to submit to Stephanie Bent and then we can gain access to the testing program.  

  • The total estimated testing time ranges from 60 to 75 minutes, depending on the tests, so this can very likely be done in one testing block.  
  • It would be ideal to stagger your days somewhat so we can add additional adults to the room to assist with logging on.  
  • Shawna will print the labels with names and SSIDs.

This Saturday – Our fiber optic service provider needs to perform maintenance on Kenwood’s fiber line this Saturday between 8am and 5pm. During this time, there won’t be any network or Internet connectivity. Phones will have limited functionality. In addition, the secure vestibule doors will not be able to be unlocked from the phones. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Vince Valenti | IT Infrastructure/Security Supervisor | Bend-La Pine Schools

NEWPORT CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT UPDATE

APRIL 29, 2021

THE NASHVILLE/HARMON BLVD INTERSECTION IS CLOSED

NEWPORT AVENUE FROM NW 7TH STREET TO NW 10TH STREET IS CLOSED

SAFETY FIRST: The Newport Corridor Improvements Project involves an update to the current stormwater system along this corridor. The project replaces a failing and deficient storm drain system serving the South Awbrey drainage basin. The new stormwater system includes a series of filtration systems, improving water quality of runoff that ultimately reaches the Deschutes River. Plantings are providing at completion.

Below is a schematic of one type of the design stormwater planters:
