Try not to look at this picture and smile. 🙂

Nominations are open for the Bend-La Pine Schools, 2018-19 Excellence in Education awards. We will be submitting the name of a certified and classified employee who will be recognized in May and will then be considered for the district level award in their respective employee groups. I would appreciate your input into the decision of who we select as our certified and classified recipients for Lava Ridge. If you are interested in nominating a colleague, please complete this form and return to me by Tuesday, March 19th and we will then use this information in making our school nominations to the district. Thank you!

hThere are a couple of opportunities through Onpoint Credit Union you may be interested in: the annual Educator of the Year awards and potential grants for school projects

Picture is on the darker side…Michele Oakes coaching in one of our kindergarten classes. Interested in working with one of our instructional coaches? Just send them an email or give them a call and remember we also have monies available to support release time for coach-supported instructional planning.

Thank you for stopping anyone you might see in the halls without a visitor or volunteer sticker and escorting them to the office and also for not allowing any non-employee to enter our school through classroom doors, side entries, or the bus entrance. You are the best! These shared elements of building security are so important!
