If you have not yet had the opportunity to attend the &#8216;Taking It Up&#8217; training with a team from your school, please consider taking a team on August 13-14. This will be well worth your while and can be a starting point for work at your school or an enhancement of things you are already doing.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Reading Competitions-<\/strong><\/span> Some of you may have received an email from a BLP parent inviting your school to participate in a reading competition titled &#8220;Clash of the Classics.&#8221; If this is something you are considering, please contact me before taking any action. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Welcome Back&#8230;already?-<\/strong><\/span><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Don&#8217;t think about this too much yet, but we do have some information about our all district welcome back.\u00a0 The fall district Welcome Back will occur, as you know, <strong>on August 28<\/strong>.\u00a0 What you may not know is that it will begin at 1:00 and end at 4:30pm at Bend High. This is a workday for many, but not all of our employees.\u00a0 For whomever it is regular workday the expectation is that they come to this event. [And besides, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?time_continue=57&amp;v=5nZO91Th6B0\">Chad Hymas<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hDUFgIZzeto\">keynote speaker<\/a> is fantastic!] Because it is scheduled to end at 4:30, we are asking all\u00a0 admin to have their staff start their workday at 8:30 (rather than 8:00) so they can stay throughout this event during their 8-hr workday. However, this is not a hill to die on. If an employee wants to start at 8:00 and leave this event at 4:00 then they can do that. (They will be missing staff awards, free food and live music).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>School Design-<\/strong><\/span> This is a gentle prod to remember to keep your <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/0B3IrBEqORjziSHNEWjlxeFFzSUE\">school design plan updated<\/a> in the google doc. I don&#8217;t expect you to completely update this before you leave for summer if it&#8217;s not already, but it should be on your to do list early in August if needed.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Mini Observations-<\/strong><\/span>Please be sure you are up to date in Talent Ed before you leave for summer.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Bear Creek-<\/strong><\/span> We conducting interviews for the Bear Creek VP today and hope to name someone before school is out next week.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Leadership BBQ-<\/strong><\/span> Monday, June 18 at noon. This will include food and a short meeting.<\/p>\n<p>This is the last installment of elementary notes until August. If you think you will miss them, please let me know and I&#8217;ll send something to you each Friday in July. I won&#8217;t promise what I send to be as engaging, enlightening, intellectually stimulating and downright entertaining as weekly notes, but you will get something in your inbox. Have a fantastic summer if I don&#8217;t see you\/talk to you before the end next week.<\/p>\n<p>I will be unavailable next Thursday through June 29. You may call the usual folks if you need assistance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations-Congratulations to Stephanie Jensen who is the new Assistant Principal at Silver Rail.
