Updates from Downtown
From Tammy
Wayfinder: For those of you interested in using Waypoints as a measure for your belonging or SEL School Design work, the window to take the assessment is extended to November 15. There are some great ideas on how to use this assessment and I’ve been talking with people at site visits if you are interested.
Also, just a freindly reminder that Wayfinder is our core curriculum for SEL and this year there is the expectation that teachers are teaching the skill lessons (only 20 lessons total, so 1 a week for 20 weeks). Log into your Wayfinder Dashboard to see who is using the system and how you can best support the use of this program. Reach out to your coaches or Jennifer Hauth for ideas for PD!
Notes from our Team:
From Kinsey – Policy, Advocacy, Equity:
Upcoming events and key dates: Please mark your calendars for these events:
- District-wide 7th annual Latino Family Night:
- Thursday, November 21st 5:30-7:30pm at MVHS
- The Woodburn High School student mariachi band will be performing! Come grab some dinner, check out their performance, and connect with families, students, and staff for some games and fun!
- Invitation here. Family Liaisons and Latino Family Advisory members will provide you with some copies, but feel free to share in staff and family newsletters.
- MAC Survey Day: This will happen sometime the week of Nov 11. Please make sure your FAN Advocate can get in front of staff ahead of that week, to introduce themselves and remind about procedures. Also, thank you for prioritizing your own time to claim an activity that day if at all possible. Without you doing that, we can’t afford to have FAN Advocates in our schools (eek).
