TO DO:
Earlier this week, Wendy Reeves shared the Measure 98 document with you that I referenced at our Horizontal meeting. Please have a draft of how you might spend these dollars into this Google Form by Friday, April 5. You can make adjustments later, but a draft needs to be completed in order to meet a reporting deadline.
THIS and THAT:
I was able to clarify with Shay around a question that came up regarding staff check-out at the end of this school year. As you know, the student’s last day is Friday, June 14. Typically, the following workday is a staff check-out day. This year, if staff are ready to checkout with you on June 14, then they may. If they are not prepared to checkout with you on Friday, then they may do so on Monday, June 17. Also, you do not need to verify any additional hours worked outside of their regular work day to allow a June 14 checkout. (This is different information than what I had shared with you at our Horizontal meeting earlier this week.)
Earlier this year, Chris shared the following document with his staff prior to fall conferences. I thought this was something that you all might find useful so I am passing it along to you (with Chris’ permission of course). Although conferences look very different this spring, I thought it was still worth passing along! (If you happen to use any of these documents in the future, remember to replace “PCMS” with your school before sharing.)
As a follow-up to a question raised at our Horizontal meeting, I learned that the end of the third and fourth quarter (as well as second and third trimester for you Robi) have been moved back. Third quarter now ends on Friday, April 12 and the end of the fourth quarter is now Friday, June 14.
Also from our meeting this week, Lauren Wood (Drug-Free Communities Coordinator with Deschutes Co.) offered to share some parent resources around vaping/e-cigarettes. Here are those resources:
Centers for Disease Control Parent Tip Sheet
E-Cigarettes: What’s the bottom line?
A few of our schools have received a bogus letter entitled Federal License Management. If you receive a letter like this, please contact Scott Bojanowski for clarification prior to acting on any steps outlined in this letter.
Here is some information regarding the Honorary Page Program (for students aged 12 – 17) that is sponsored by the OR House of Representatives. Please pass it along to anyone you believe might be interested.
REMINDERS:
We have a Leadership meeting on Monday, April 1, at 3:15. Jay emailed you an agenda on 3/20, with a note that this meeting will be for current administrators only. We are asking that all deans, student services, admin interns, or other non-current administrator employees not attend this meeting.
