Here we go! Thank you for your hard work, energy, and positivity over the last couple of weeks getting ready to officially launch the school year on Monday. It has been a busy couple of weeks with lots of information, news, and updates coming our way and I appreciate the way everyone has worked together with this extra-busy start.
Monday we begin our phone conferences with families. Here again is the list of recommended questions. Thank you for being sure to ask if families have a device at home that can connect to the internet and about connectivity (Kindle Fires and Chromebooks are not reliable devices for WebEx, Dreambox, and Lexia.) Student and family needs can be entered into this google doc: CDL Student and Family Needs.
Our welcome video turned out fantastic! We will be sharing this via Facebook and will email to families on Monday. Thank you Rachel and Sarah for putting this together!
Recording Lessons – During Comprehensive Distance Learning, you may elect to record lessons. After consulting with legal counsel, student voice, student image, and student name are ALLOWED to be recorded and uploaded/shared within your Google classroom or Seesaw classroom. So you may, if you choose, record the first lesson launch you deliver live (in Webex), save that recording to your desktop then upload it to Google Classroom or Seesaw. Keep in mind that recordings on Webex can not be viewed for 24 hours

From Julie Walker: All student Lexia accounts have been reset and all students will retake the autoplacement test. Here is some verbage you may want to share with families: Lexia is new and up-to-date with additional levels for the 20-21 year. You may review some work that you’ve seen before in Core5 – this is to make sure you are strong and confident with these reading skills. The extra practice may help you move faster through the levels as you work through the program!
Staffing Updates:
–Stacey Purtzer will be teaching 1st grade this year. As we discussed at our first staff meeting, with smaller than anticipated kindergarten enrollment we needed to shift a teacher to 1st grade to meet student enrollment needs at that grade. Thank you Stacey for your positivity and spirit with this adjustment.
–Melissa Merritt will be joining the ICCL Team. Melissa brings previous experience in this role from her tenure at La Pine Elementary School.
On Monday, Nutrition Services will begin serving free lunch and breakfast to anyone 18 years and younger from 11:30-12:45 in the courtyard between Friendship Mountain and Eagle’s Nest. Nutrition Services will be welcoming students in through the gate on the south playground and will follow signs to the courtyard. Students will be able to pick-up both lunch and breakfast.
Thank you for following the No Visitors on Campus guidelines from Superintendent Nordquist.
Limited In-Person Instruction ( LIPI ) begins in Bend-La Pine Schools on September 28th. Details on phase 1 & 2 below. Initially for Lava Ridge, this means we will be able to conduct in-person evaluations for ELL and Special Education students. We have not received information about phase 2 yet.
