Thank you for the birthday wishes and gift. I feel so fortunate to get to work alongside each of you everyday. 🙂
Communicating with each other. My prediction is that most of you have email in boxes that look something like mine: filled to overflowing. One way that we can all support each other is to remember a few key practices:
- If you have a question and you don’t know where to direct it, send it to Lybe or I rather than sending it out into the email stratosphere (sending it to all Lava Ridge Staff)
- If you receive an email from a colleague and you have a question, clarification, disagreement, etc. Please DO NOT “REPLY ALL.” Reply only to the sender.
- If you are sending a long email with anything but information (emotion, arguments, etc.) delete the email. Then make the time to discuss the issues you addressed in the email. In person is best, but the phone or webex can work, as well.
Bend Parks and Rec Childcare: BPRD’s childcare begins on September 16th and will be located in the gym and in the Friendship Mountain commons. Bend Parks and Rec continues to have a reciprocal use agreement with Bend-La Pine schools and will be using our building throughout the year. While some BPRD programs take place in schools, they follow different State of Oregon COVID Guidelines/Metrics for their programs including the child care that will be provided to families this school year.
