We’re planning to have lunch outside on Monday…and as many days as possible this spring! During Monday morning meetings, please review the Outside Lunch Expectations with your class. Thank you! With students able to choose who they sit by when we eat outside, we’re going to pause Fun Friday’s until January 2027.
At the recent Safety Team Meeting, we discussed safety related to the spring and warming weather, below is a list of items for your radar:
- Bee stings- Thank you for having an epipen with you on field trips and knowing the signs/symptoms of allergic reactions to stings.
- Sun Protection-Hats and Sunscreen can be great for prevention. Sunscreen is treated similarly to other medications in Bend-La Pine with families needing to fill out an authorization for medication distribution form for a student to apply during the day at school. There is no paperwork required for good ol’ wide rim hats.
- Spring/Warm Weather Recess Items: We have lots of fun options at Lava Ridge for students to play with and we ask that students not bring baseballs, softballs, and frisbees to recess.
From Kinsey Martin: 2026’s Day of Silence is Friday, April 10. You will may have students observing this day. Students have the right to express themselves (including through silence, in this case) as long as it is done in an orderly and non-disruptive manner—see related policy. Thank you for accommodating your participating students by:
- Planning nonverbal or written options for class participation that day
- Letting substitutes know to be prepared to accommodate students as well
- Learning about the day and its significance to your students
- Promptly interrupting and reporting any harassment or bias incidents
