SEL Concerns Ticket<\/a> Please use this if you have concerns with a student\u2019s lagging SEL skills and you would like to do some collaboration with us (Heidi T.  and\/or Brian) to problem solve. Thanks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FYI Ticket<\/a> Please use this if you have an incident or recurring incidents with a student. This helps us with follow through, communication and data. Thank you!!!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s it going?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouthTruth Survey<\/strong> – The YouthTruth survey is open until 1\/28.  Here\u2019s the link to the staff survey<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highland Culture of Care: <\/strong>Our character trait for the month of January is kindness. Thank you to the kindergarten team for signing up to make a video for the January assembly on the 28th Here is the link <\/a>to our year long assembly plan with a few kindness resources. I also have some great books on kindness in my office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a team, we are continuing to read Classroom 180. Our next SIW will be on February 2nd and we plan on discussing domains 2 and 3. We also want to hear from YOU! The plan is to hold another \u201cFishbowl\u201d to discuss regulation and using the language of trauma. You can also bring your wonderings and problems that need solving! Thanks! ~Heidi Thomas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEL Lessons: <\/strong>Reminder, I (Heidi)  am ALWAYS happy to come in and teach what I call an anchor SEL lesson! I also love helping teachers brainstorm ways to integrate SEL into their day. I have a lot of resources to share with you, just let me know what you need. This is the time of year when we start to see behaviors showing up more frequently and at higher rates. Class meetings, restorative circles and targeted lessons are just a few ways we can help mitigate them.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside Lunch<\/strong>: While our temps are still so low, please assume we are eating inside<\/strong> unless we announce otherwise. When we do make a last minute change, we will do our best to get the word around, but even with email and PA announcements it seems like somebody always misses it – so we apologize up front. Thanks for your flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plumbing Construction: <\/strong>So far so good.  The problem areas were identified and fixed.  Unfortunately we won\u2019t be able to repave the areas for a while as the winter weather is not ideal for paving.  We may have to deal with a gravel patch for several weeks before that can be fixed, but we should not have to deal with the flooding into the basement any longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remote Learning Preparation – The following is the gist of what I attempted to share on Wednesday last week – this is just keeping the information fresh and available – nothing has changed since last week, except we are covering the staff absences at a much better rate than those first couple days;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here in Bend-La Pine we are committed to in-person instruction and currently have no intention of moving to this delivery model.  However, with this new Omicron Covid strain spreading rapidly we need to be prepared. Here are resources to help prepare\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
