Team,
Have a restful weekend. ~Juan
To Do
From Lora Nordquist
Team,
Two important items…
- Revised SIW Schedule. Because the week of June 10th is now a full week, Wednesday, 6/12, will be an SIW. This changes the designation of our June SIW’s. Wednesday, 6/5, will now be a building discretion day; Wednesday, 6/12, will be a teacher-directed work day.
- End of Year Activities. With the last two days of school being pushed to the week of June 17th, the district’s expectation is that end-of-the-year celebrations (5th grade or 8th grade promotions, field days, etc.) be scheduled during these last two days. Additionally, the high school exam schedules should carry over to the 17th, at least, or the 18th.
From Ryan Kelling, Human Resources

We are offering a remote component again this year in an attempt to attract a wider range of candidates. There is a spot on the sign-up sheet to indicate if you are interested in meeting with candidates via MS Teams.

Thank you for supporting fly up day this week. We hope your students had a positive experience. Could you please pass along this survey to the staff who traveled with students to a high school? We would like to collect feedback for future planning.
This and That
From Tammy Pike
Overdose Emergency Kits
BLS received several Overdose Emergency Kits through OHA’s Save Lives Oregon Initiative. Each kit contains: Administration instructions, 4 boxes of naloxone, 2 CPR face shields, and 1 emergency box for storage. Each middle and high school received two kits and elementary schools received one kit.
Overdose Emergency Kit Location
Ideally, the Overdose Emergency Kit box should be mounted on a wall next to an AED cabinet so that it is easily accessible. However, this may not be feasible for your school site. Please consult with your school nurse about where the best location would be for these Overdose Emergency Kits. AED cabinets still contain 2 doses of naloxone.
Overdose Emergency Kit Location and Expiration Date Information
Once the location of the Overdose Emergency Kits have been identified, the school nurse will add the locations and the naloxone expiration dates to our district AED Master Spreadsheet.

From Jennifer Hauth

Middle school principals, please ensure you or one of your team members attend the middle school presentations. Thanks ~Juan
