If the staff person (teacher) does not have a type 10 license to transport students, the staff person and the student must ride in a vehicle together along with the driver (parent volunteer). If there is not enough room to accommodate all of the students and the medication administration trained staff person, a bus transport will need to be requested. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">*Epi pen and Glucagon trained staff need to be CPR\/first aid certified. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">**Please remind your staff that if direct care nursing services are required for field trips, we ask that a 2 week advance notice via direct care nursing request form is completed.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>Monday is a Leadership meeting at the Ed. Center, beginning at 3:15 (unless your last name is Stancliff, then you start at 2:00). \u00a0We&#8217;ll be getting into groups for discussion and future school visits. \u00a0(These will <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">not<\/span> be the same groups you&#8217;ll be in for our forthcoming MS Horizontal PD work.) \u00a0Here are the <strong>groupings we&#8217;ll be using for Monday<\/strong>, feel free to find and sit with this team when you arrive:\n<ul>\n<li>Group 1:Roger, Steven S., Wendy<\/li>\n<li>Group 2: Chris, Stephen D., Teri, Hayley<\/li>\n<li>Group 3: Robi, Brian U., Steph<\/li>\n<li>Group 4: Lisa, Brian M., Scott<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>As you probably are aware, the annual <strong>COSA Principal&#8217;s Conference<\/strong> is once again coming to Bend on Oct. 23-25 at the Riverhouse Conference Center. \u00a0The district will not be paying for conference registrations this year, with one exception. Mary Ehrenworth, a co-author of\u00a0<em>Units of Study\u00a0for Teaching Writing<\/em>, will be providing a workshop for BLS employees on Monday afternoon. \u00a0There will be no cost for buildings to attend this training, but sub costs will be the responsibility of each school. \u00a0See <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/a\/gapps.bend.k12.or.us\/file\/d\/0BwH82Aoi_UKTUlpqNldiQTRfTnc\/view?usp=sharing\">this flyer<\/a> for more information and the number of slots each school has received (because of the cap number of participants we&#8217;ve been given).

If a student chooses not to participate that is enough. But again, we want as many students as possible to complete this survey.<\/li>\n<li>Each school has a unique URL for taking the survey. \u00a0Dave recommends providing this link to your students for taking the survey on her\/his iPads, then removing the link after they have completed the questions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Next Wednesday is the second of our four <strong>District SIW<\/strong>s. \u00a0All math will be meeting at HDMS (at 1:45), ELA\/SS have an optional StudySync training at the Ed Center (room 312, 1:30 &#8211; 4:00).
