Wave Riders,
HR had a great meeting with the HS principals the other day that highlighted prospective openings and the possible reductions. With that process in mind Ryan Kelling wants to meet with the MS principals to do the same. Please plan on being at the Ed Center on Wednesday, April 20th at 1:00pm. This meeting will get us prepared for our next meeting on Monday, April 25th at 8:00 am-9:30 am. We’ll meet with the HS principals at BEND HIGH that morning to finalize any movement that may happen.
Please bring your staffing plans, and FTE allocations so that you have all the information to guide our decisions. So, I am canceling our Tuesday, April 26th, principal meeting in La Pine. I know this is a lot of movement and change, but we need to get this right. I also know that some of you requested to move our 25th meeting to the 26th but our staffing process will have to take precedent. I appreciate your flexibility.
I appreciate you~Juan
To Do
Middle School Summer School Student List
Remember, Monday, May 2, is the due date for sending names to Dean Richards from your school. There is some flexibility with your numbers, but attempt to fill your slots.
Staffing Plans
Please continue to work on your plans. Complete these these by Monday, April 18th. I will be reviewing them. Let me know if you have any questions.
This and That
Personal days
It’s that time of year where people will be cashing in their personal days. Please remember the 5% rule. No more than 5% of your bargaining unit (certified) can be out on the same day with personal days. It is up to the school to keep track. Rule of thumb is that for larger schools, It’s 2 people. Please pass this information on to your office managers so they can help you manage these requests so you don’t approve too many for one day.
Update from Jennifer Hauth
Optional Educator Network School Counselor Professional Learning
Please encourage your school counselors to attend the optional training on Wednesday from 2:30 to 4:00 pm at Caldera High School in Room 210. We will be reviewing school specific Youth Truth data in the social-emotional and engagement categories. The goal is to support counselors in using this information to take the next steps in building a data informed, comprehensive school counseling program.
From Dean Richards
Next week is the voluntary Educator Network Day which provides an opportunity for you to meet with teachers in the same content area. The Educator Network Days are led by ICCLs in each content area. You will be time sheeted for your time collaborating with your peers.
