TO DO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Principals, please send your Leave Sheet to Stephanie Bent<\/strong> (instead of Amy Stafford). (At one point we were thinking that Janet Bojanowski may collect Leave Sheets… but have landed on Stephanie collecting them for now.) _________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n Principals, please plan on having your evaluation Self Reflection completed in Performance Matters no later than May 15.<\/strong> (Again, my meeting with you in May will have a focus on discussing your goals and your overall thoughts on this year… and June we’ll discuss your Summative Evaluation.) _________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n The planning for summer instruction<\/strong> continues and is becoming clearer day-by-day. Would you please share this flyer<\/a> with your staff regarding summer learning work opportunities with all of your employee groups? The plans being made for instruction will only work if we have staff members who are interested in being involved. Temporary employees are also welcome to apply to postings once they are advertised. _________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n And speaking of summer instruction, the grades 6 – 12 programming has a name, its Sparks<\/strong>. Wendy has created a very helpful and informative document that provides behind-the-scenes information regarding what this summer will look like for students and staff. Please share this document <\/a>(and read through it yourself) with your staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n THIS and THAT:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was verified this week that iPads will not<\/span> be turned in this June<\/strong>. Due to summer learning opportunities, we will ask our students to hold on to their iPads (just like they did last spring). _________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of you have wondered about what the last week of school schedule will look like this year. Now that we are all-in, and assuming we stay all-in for the remainder of this year, we will be following the original calendar during these last days of this school year. Specifically, during the last week of school, Monday and Tuesday are “regular” days, Wednesday is a “regular” (full-length) day, Thursday will be an “SIW release” day, and Friday is a work day for teachers and their last day. _________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n The following is a To Do (if you haven’t already), or Reminder (you received this from Paul earlier this week) – but definitely a This and That (you can share with your staff) regarding Secondary School Mandated Rapid Testing<\/span>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n On Monday, the latest metrics were released and because Deschutes County was over 200 cases\/100K, secondary schools (not elementary) are required to offer rapid COVID-19 tests to symptomatic students\/staff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Q14: <\/strong>My school is in a county that exceeds its metrics and is required to offer testing. How long does my school have to implement the BinaxNOW testing program?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A14: Schools required to offer access to this program will have two weeks to register, train for, and administer the program when or if metrics change in their county in a way that makes this program a requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our date to have this program up and running in our secondary schools is Monday, April 26th. If your school has not ordered rapid testing kits, this should be done ASAP (COVID-19 Testing K-12 Registration Form<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some resources to assist you in implementing the Rapid Testing Program:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ll open up my WebEx room ( https:\/\/bls.webex.com\/meet\/paul.dean<\/a> ) at 8 am on Friday, April 23rd, if you have any implementation questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n REMINDERS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our next Horizontal meeting will focus on the instructional framework <\/strong>PD that Dave and Dean have been presenting to us throughout this year. See you all next Tuesday at 8:00! _________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please have your Staffing Plan completed by next Friday, April 23.<\/strong> After that date I will let you know if you can begin submitting posting requests for any openings you have. _________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a repeat communication regarding ACRs and pointing of students<\/strong> that you received from Amy Stafford a few days ago: <\/p>\n\n\n\n JoAnne Kienzle and I are working on pointing students in Synergy who have submitted ACRs for the 21-22 school year. We will have this completed by the end of this week. There are some students, that for whatever reason, we are unable to point.\u00a0If this is the case, you will receive an email from me, asking you to point them.\u00a0<\/em>If you run into any trouble, please reach out and we will solve this together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n From this point forward,\u00a0ACRs will only be approved by principals IF there is a one-to-one change.\u00a0If you have any questions about an ACR that falls outside of the one-to-one parameter, please reach out to Jim Boen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TO DO: Principals, please send your Leave Sheet to Stephanie Bent (instead of Amy Stafford). (At one point we were thinking that Janet Bojanowski may collect Leave Sheets… but have landed on Stephanie collecting them for now.) _________________________________________________________________________________ Principals, please … Continue reading
You will no longer receive emails from me letting you know that an ACR is sitting in your Home tab of the 20-21 ACR Middle School Workbook.\u00a0This is now up to your school to monitor.\u00a0\u00a0Once an ACR has been approved, it automatically populates into your schools REQ tab, letting you know that the student needs to be pointed in Synergy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
