THIS AND THAT:

• Important dates to know and get on your calendar:
  • Last day with students is June 22 and it is an Early Release day. [Reminder that Wednesday, June 21 is NOT an Early Release day.]
  • District middle school SIW dates for 2017-18: 10/18, 11/29, 2/28, 4/25
  • Admin breakfast: Friday, June 23 beginning at 7:30am at the Ed Center
  • Admin Safety Training (required): Aug. 9 at Summit HS [This will also include training regarding our new student threat assessment process and a visitor management update)
  • Leadership Academy (required): Aug. 10 in Sunriver [Don’t forget to invite your ICCLs.  More info to come regarding this day.]
  • Take It Up training: Aug. 15 & 16 at PCMS [You should have already signed up for this with a school team]
  • Trauma Informed School Summit: Aug. 24 at Summit HS [Sign up in PD Place]
• This should not be new information to your registrars, but it may be to you: New Student Registration will be available to families at all of our schools (except magnet schools – REALMS) beginning June 26.  This would be a great way for parents to begin the registration process during the weeks that your offices are closed.
• If you have any sort of end of year staff communication still to send out, you may want to include the website for summer PD: bit.ly/blspd.  There are quite a few opportunities for staff already listed, and likely more will be added in the coming weeks.
• Speaking of which, here is one to highlight for you – and encourage you to pass along to your SPED and interventionists:

  Several options around the intervention programs on our district intervention matrix to support interventionists in rigorous implementation of these programs will be offered.  Additionally, a “Raising the Rigor” of interventions training during the week of Sept. 11 – 15 that Julie, Jenn and Lindsley will lead to discuss instructional enhancements to improve student achievement.  Sign ups are open now in PD Place.

REMINDERS:

• If you are needing to hire for an ICCL position, you may want to refresh your memory (I needed too) regarding the steps/process to do so.  Thanks to Robi for bringing this site to my attention!
