Oregon SEED Survey Information

Here is a brief update on Oregon’s Student Educational Equity Development (SEED) survey. As in previous years, SEED remains optional for 3rd-12th grade students, it takes about 15 minutes, and is delivered through the OSAS secure testing browser with the same menu of accessibility supports. SEED contains four domains: (1) Access to Learning Resources, (2) Opportunity to Learn, (3) Self-Efficacy Beliefs, and (4) Sense of Belonging.  Two of these domains are content specific; that is, items measuring Opportunity to Learn and Self-Efficacy Beliefs are written to align with key academic expectations. Content areas are sampled by grade as follows: 

• Reading/Language Arts Grades 3, 6, and 9 

• Mathematics Grades 4, 7, and 10 

• Science Grades 5, 8, and 11 

• Native American Culture/History (OTL only) Grades 4-11

Additional information to help you determine whether your school (or even specific grade levels) might participate, including all survey questions, is available here https://www.oregon.gov/ode/educator-resources/assessment/Pages/Student_Educational_Equity_Development_Survey.aspx

Contact Dave VanLoo or Stephanie Bent with any questions.

Principals and LLC Members,

This is a follow up to my announcement yesterday about an additional principals’ meeting this spring on Monday, May 22, in the board room:

  • 3:00-3:30 is OPTIONAL. Dave is going to share a strategy for schools interested in focusing more directly on instructional practices in their school design work next year. The goal is to get feedback and learn what resources schools may need if they want to participate.
  • 3:30-4:00 (ish) is mandatory. Steve will share additional information about budget and possible impacts on schools. 

Last day of School for 8th graders

I am looping back around to you about 8th grader’s last day of school.

You may make attendance optional for 8th graders on the last day of school Friday, June 16th

I know many of you have an 8th grade promotion, or some event/celebration on Thursday, June 15. Therefore, making Thursday their last day of middle school. Communicate with your 8th grade families that June 16, attendance is optional for their student.

From Jackie Mueller

May is the walk and bike challenge for staff. If your school has some active commuters via walking or biking, this is a great way to get involved and eventually get rewards. Please share with staff so we can the carbon offsets through the month of May. 

  1. Go to Get There Oregon
  2. Sign up – use your school email
  3. Check email and confirm account
  4. For the find and join a network, look for your school under Bend-La Pine – YOUR SCHOOL
  5. Start to log trips commuting via carpool, walking or biking
  6. The district will review the schools with the most trips logged in May in the hopes of getting you involved in a reward program similar to Caldera’s. 
  7. Here are BLS current statistics for this school year to date.

Team,

Get out there this weekend and enjoy the vitamin D!

To Do

From Lora Nordquist

Principals,

Our monthly PD session is this Monday, May 1st, in the board room starting at 3:00. Our life and career readiness discussion will end at 4:00.

In our PD survey, a number of leaders expressed interest in digging more deeply into instructional practices next year. Dave VanLoo will be sharing a model with ANY INTERESTED PRINCIPALS AND LLC MEMBERS from 4:00-4:30. The purpose of the presentation is to gauge interest in this approach to instructional improvement and get feedback about what schools might need in terms of support if they want to “pilot” the model during the 23-24 school year. 

More from Lora

Principals and LLC Team – We have entered the season where every Friday and Monday are becoming days with MANY unfilled jobs! We all need to avoid scheduling interviews, team time, studios, etc. on these days. I am requesting that building leaders and LLC team members get approval from their level leader before scheduling any field trip/PD/”school business” subs on Fridays and Mondays through the end of the year.

From Paul Dean, HR

Spring/Summer Recruiting

Here are some FAQs regarding the upcoming certified hiring season:

Which internal candidates are we required to interview? The CBA guarantees interviews to internal candidates to anyone who has contract status, meaning they have been employed with us for three years or longer. Because of the fact that the contract letters have already been issued for next year, this includes those who are probationary three this year. If an employee has contract status and is currently in a temporary position, they are still owed an interview.

If so, how do find out which employees are in which category? Please click on this link to see the contract status of all certified staff.  If someone does not appear on your list, please email [email protected] for assistance.

For those that we are required to offer an interview to, does it need to be a full interview, or can it be a phone screen or a shortened version? Asking as it will be a struggle to arrange for teachers etc. to participate in a large number of full interviews. You can run a tiered interview for any position you like,  beginning with a screening round where ALL internal applicants are asked the same questions and you then decide which candidates to invite to subsequent rounds of interviews.

From ODE and Dave VanLoo

BLS Guidance to Staff-Student Protest

From Scott in IT

Nearly all of our students will be turning in their iPads before the summer holiday.  It has been a few years since we last performed an end of year device “roll in”.  Those of you who have experienced this process know that it is not a small task.  Thank you to each of you who have already met with Roy Fuller to learn about the process and work up a plan.  Our hope is that each of you will now make the effort to provide as much support as you are able to assist your school media specialist/ librarians during the last week of school.  This is certainly one of those operations where many hands make light work.

Additionally, we will be asking for any student hotspots to be turned in at that time as well. (details to follow)

UKG TLM Update April 20th, 2023

UKG TLM has been live for 9 weeks now.  What a stellar accomplishment.  The implementation team appreciates all the participation and support from everyone in navigating this transition.  Without you all this would not have been possible. 

What have we accomplished?  

  • We have eliminated our paper processes for recording time & leave.
  • Created an import process directly from our UKG timesheets into Business Plus that improves accuracy in our payroll processes.
  • Improve our Auditability, documentation and internal controls.  Yes, that boring regulation stuff.
  • Identified many areas of additional improvement we can look to in the future.  Yes, finding issues is a positive, it means we are on the right track to continual improvement.

Thank you everyone, we are still very excited.

What comes next?  

  • As some are aware there were certain pieces of the implementation that still require some fine tuning before being fully implemented.  For example, our time off requests from Frontline Absence management are still being manually entered into UKG by our wonderful timekeepers.  The automation of this process is still underway and we are actively engaged in assessing what further steps need completed to turn this on.   Once we have a tentative go live of this further automation, we will share that.
  • With continued partnership with our staff, timekeepers and managers, we are identifying additional areas of improvement, to improve efficiency of the flow of approvals as well as identifying areas where additional training or development of process documents will better assist everyone in navigating the use of this application.
  • A number of meetings have been scheduled over the next 2 weeks to review everyone’s feedback, requests and suggestions so as to allow us to update our planned next steps and stages so that we can communicate to all.

Again, the implementation team appreciates everyone’s continued feedback and support.  Please continue to reach out to HR for any questions about your employee setups or any HR processes and reach out to payroll for any questions regarding time paid, or time off balance questions.  Also, continue to check back to the UKG staff portal page and/or the UKG application itself to find updates and any new process and training documents that are posted.

Take care and thank you from Leah and Jason in the Business Office.  

From Amy Yillik

Hi y’all! 

I wanted to share some work I’m currently doing with BSHS that may be of interest to your middle & high schools for next year. Last year I began partnering with BSHS & Deschutes County to provide PD and connection for parents, emphasizing attendance and dealing with challenging issues.  The flyer for the upcoming event (attached) and the content from both sessions are linked. 

Family Slides from 2022 (Spanish Version)

Family Slides for 2023 (Spanish Version)

I’d be happy to offer this with other schools or as a larger district event. Last year we had over 60 participants (with half being LatinX) and it was well-received.  It would take some planning to coordinate with participating schools, though now that we have created 2 sessions, I believe we have an easy to use model for implementation.

Let me know if you have any questions or would like me to discuss this with the leaders in your schools for potential partnerships next year.

From OSU

There is a OSU grant for 100% tuition reimbursement for a Master in School Counseling. Here is a one pager.

  • Master of School Counseling tuition-free and with a monthly stipend from OSU Cascades. 
  • Informational Open House May 8th from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Email [email protected] to register.
  • Candidates must apply for admission to the School Counseling program by May 25, 2023
  • If accepted into the program, then candidates may apply (very short process) for entry into the PATH-SC cohort (grant funded tuition-free and monthly stipend)
  • Classes for this new cohort (both those in the PATH-SC cohort and those who are not) will begin in late June 2023.
  • Anyone with a Bachelor’s Degree can apply for the PATH-SC cohort, regardless if they are currently working in the district or not.
  • The focus of this grant (PATH-SC cohort) is to engage individuals who represent your community, represent an underserved and diverse population, and must be placed and willing to work in a high-needs school.

re: UKG HRIS & Recruitment Update April 20th, 2023

Implementing a new HRIS can be a daunting task, but when it comes to UKG, the benefits of making the switch are clear. Since its implementation nine weeks ago, our organization has seen a significant improvement in our HR processes. This has led to a substantial decline in overtime for our staff, reduced paper consumption across the entire district, and increased access to important information for our employees/schools/departments.

We have been able to automate HR manual tasks, freeing up valuable time and resources. For example, our employee onboarding process has been significantly streamlined, allowing new hires to complete their paperwork online and reducing the time it takes to get them up and running in our system. Another area in which UKG HRIS has improved our HR processes is in electronic forms. The system offers a user-friendly interface that allows employees to easily complete custom forms, checklists, and contracts.

As we look to the future, you will start to see process improvements system-wide and additional features being rolled out. Also, we are in the process of building the Learning and Performance modules in UKG to have a one-stop shop for all of our staff’s resources, training, professional development and evaluations. As our implementation of UKG modules progresses, we anticipate it being a game-changer for our organization.

Team,

I hope you had a good participation rate for conferences. It was great to see you at CEL today too.

I know staffing, creating schedules, and placing folks can be stressful; and it can be inspiring as we look toward next year as we start to look at new possibilities. With that end, please have your staffing plans complete by next Friday, April 21. I know most of you are hard at work on making this happen. So, as you complete this task, I want to sit down with you and examine it. At the same time, we ought to explore what you are planning for your SIF and MS Alt funds. I don’t expect you to have a solid plan for those, unless they are included in your staffing plan. So let’s calendar times to connect about your staffing plans.

Also, complete the anticipated vacancies google sheet. This is going to be helpful as we May need to place teachers. If you think you need to make new hires, call me, they need to be approved by your level leader. The anticipated vacancies sheet is below:

3.24.2023 (Week of March 20)

Team,

Have a restful well deserved Spring Break! ~Juan

To Do

On April 4 we will have our last ICCL/Admin meeting of the year. As was communicated in January, the February ICCL/Admin meeting was reallocated to allow you time to work on sharing a high point of your Climate/Culture and Academic work for this year.

The April meeting will be spent sharing these “high lights” for the first part of our time.

The second part of the meeting, school teams will be asked to review and provide feedback on the proposed multi-year professional development plan focused on priority standards/grading and the BLS Life and Career Readiness plan.

The meeting will be at BSHS in Perseverance Hall, the same location as our first meeting from 4:30-6:30

End of the year planning:

June 14: the last Wednesday of the year (this is not and early release day)

June 16: the last day of school for kids (this is an early release day)

June 19: this is a holiday

June 20: this is the final work day of the year for teachers BUT if they complete all their end of the year work and responsibilities and have everything “checked off” by their administrator then they do not have to report to work on this day.

June 22: this is our all admin CEL day.  Mandatory attendance.

This and That

An announcement from Steve Cook:

Dear Team,

I have a couple of announcements before we head off into spring break that I wanted to share with our district and school leaders. Two moves of note are the following:

  1. Tammy Doty has been promoted to executive director of elementary schools and is now a member of Cabinet. While it is atypical for me to appoint people into positions, after multiple conversations with our chief human resources officer and our deputy superintendent, it became abundantly clear that Tammy’s levels of responsibility mirror those of the current level leaders. Tammy will be among the leaders choosing the second executive director of elementary schools, who will begin in the summer of 2023. 
  2. Back in November, we commissioned a departmental review of our DEI department, including our ELL services, to give us a better picture of the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats of the two departments.  This review was conducted by the Coalition of Oregon School Administrators. (This report in its entirety is available upon request.)  It contains some very important points of feedback and recommendations, along with several commendations.  The weaknesses and opportunities were not surprising to us, but external recognition of those assessments was valuable. Most of the opportunities for growth, improvement, and system recommendations tie directly to increasing resource allocation. As a result of these recommendations, I am moving forward with the following staffing changes/additions:
  • Kinsey Martin will become the executive director of policy, advocacy, and equity (job description here ), reporting directly to the superintendent.
  • The district will post the position of director of multilingual services (job description here).
  • The district will post four half-time positions for a team of LEAD/Equity TOSA’s (coaches) (job description here).  

I am excited that these steps will directly support our goals and also reflect our deep and growing commitment to promoting equitable experiences and outcomes for all our students, as well as better serving our multilingual students and families.  I would also add a very strong vote of confidence in the work of Kinsey Martin, for keeping up so much of this critical work over the past couple of years.  As you will read in this review, she has been integral throughout this process. And while Skip Offenhauser’s retirement is a loss, I believe that the elementary leadership remains in capable hands with Tammy Doty’s skills as a building and district leader, as well as her deep knowledge of elementary instructional practices. 

Best, Steve

From Sean Reinhart

Sources of Strengths class/club:

Are you intending to have a Sources of Strengths section or club next school year?  If you have not reached out to Jennifer Hauth or Sean Reinhart regarding your intent to implement and plan for a Sources of Strength class or club for next year, please do so by April 7, 2023.  They are putting together a final budget for being able to fund Sources of Strengths and need to do this before forecasting starts.  Thank you!

From Kinsey Martin

Multilingual Staff Evaluations and Staffing:

Just a reminder: I am supporting a portion of mini’s and formals for each Language Specialist, Mutilingual and LEAD TOSAs, Dual Immersion Coaches, and probationary-status Dual Immersion teachers.  For itinerant Language Specialists, let me know if you want to coordinate end-of-year evaluations differently than in prior years.  

Family Liaisons are not on a formal evaluation cycle this year, but feedback conversations are ongoing–always feel free to send me feedback (concerns, appreciations) throughout the year on your site’s assigned liaison, as it is helpful for me in supporting their work across buildings.  

Multilingual staffing/school assignments for next year may shift slightly—there are several retirements, etc, on the team, as well as population shifts across schools.  I’ll be in touch with each principal to talk about any changes to your site, but in the meantime if you have ideas, questions, etc, on multilingual staffing or services please reach out!

Dress Code:

Right after spring break, the LEAD/Equity TOSAs will have a student mini-lesson ready for you regarding the dress code.  I would recommend reserving some time at a staff meeting in early/mid-April to conduct the actual lesson with your staff, as it provides a great opportunity to discuss bias and to calibrate your interpretation of the rules together.  That would also allow your teachers to become familiar with the lesson before teaching it to students.   

The lesson is geared for 6th-12th grades, but easily accommodated for 5th grade; a family letter will be included as well.  As the weather warms up, proactive conversations with staff, students, and families about clothing choices will help avoid misunderstandings, surprises, or unintended harm—thanks for your partnership.

From Scott McDonald 

During Spring Break week (March 27-31), IT will be making some changes to the “electronic” web help desk ticket system (https://bls.fyi/help). The most significant changes will be to the category layout used for creating new tickets. Our hope is that the enhanced ticket system will be clear and intuitive for everyone.  If you wish to provide any feedback or have questions about the changes, please reach out to our “human” Help Desk at extension 1200.

From Dean Richards

Please communicate with staff that we will not be running Basecamp for rising 9th graders this summer. This decision was made because we have not seen greater outcomes for students who have participated in Basecamp.

Central Oregon Decoding Dyslexia

Please join us for the Central Oregon Dyslexia Conference on April 22nd.  We are excited to announce that Bend-La Pine and Redmond Schools are partnering with Decoding Dyslexia Central Oregon to host this Dyslexia Conference.  The International Dyslexia Association – Oregon Branch will be presenting along with local dyslexia tutors and literacy specialists.

I hope you will attend and encourage administrators in key areas to attend. The conference is free and will focus on ways to reach and advance all struggling readers, but especially children who have characteristics of dyslexia. 

We would love to have this information shared to principals and key personnel, even at the MS or HS level.  Our message is that it’s never too late for kids to become better readers.  When the wave of kids impacted by COVID starts hitting MS in the near future and then in the HS, everyone will need more understanding of reading struggles and how to help kids who missed out on so much of their foundational skills.  This conference can bring better a understanding of reading to that conversation that will help BLP prepare for that future.

Team,

Spring is around the corner and with these sunnier days it seems to bring a spike in behaviors. I appreciate your leadership, your willingness to lean into challenging circumstances and together we can ride these waves that come at us, little swells or big swells. Remember, always be ready to shift and adjust. Please know I notice your tremendous effort and work.

I am cancelling Tuesday, March 21, MS Admin work session. Our next MS work session will be on Thursday, April 13. Check the calendar below for location. But more importantly, I’m asking principals to meet on Monday, March 20, at 3:30-4:30, at Cascade MS, so that I can distribute your staffing allocations. See you Monday.

I hope you have restful weekend and Happy St. Patty’s Day!! ~Juan

It is the time for digital tools request. This year we are doing it in 2 phases.  The first phase is with digital engagement and productivity tools.  An email should have been sent out by Teacher-Librarians at the high school and vice principals at the middle schools earlier this week.  It is important for all teachers to complete the form. The second request for curricular tools (tied to courses) will be coming out after spring break.

From Human Resources

Staff Assignment Report – UKG

As you start to build your staffing plans for the next school year, you will now have access to a new tab on your UKG dashboard labeled “Staffing” that will display employees at your building, their assignment(s), FTE, and employee status. This report is only reflective of an employee’s assignment as it currently stands and does not indicate those who have resigned for the next school year. HR will be continuously updating this report to reflect any movement/changes to your employees over the next few months.

This information should be crossed-referenced with your staffing spreadsheet for accuracy purposes. If you find a discrepancy or have any questions regarding an employee, please reach to Human Resources before taking any further action.

Workflow Delegation

When you take time off, your administrator tasks, such as employee request approvals, can be delegated to ensure a continuous workflow. The Workflow Delegation feature enables administrators to assign tasks to other employees during that time. Based on security permissions, administrators can delegate tasks to other employees and allow delegated employees to view and approve workflow actions.

Instructions to Add a Workflow Delegation (Menu > My Info > My HR > Delegations)

  1. From the Delegations page, select Add New. The Workflow Delegation window appears.
  2. At the Delegate To field, select the Browse icon.
  3. Select the employee(s) to delegate, then select Apply.
  4. From the Workflow Type drop-down list, select the applicable workflow or all workflows.
  5. At the Date From and Date To fields, select the dates that the assigned user completes the delegated tasks.  
  6. Select Save.

Team,

As you can imagine with a new system implementation there are always bumps in the road. This has been the case for UKG. The lift has been a hug undertaking by the business office and the human resources departments. They are going above and beyond the call of duty to make this happen for our organization. Please ensure to read the UKG updates in the blog below. Lastly, we are relying on you to help out these departments as much as possible by approaching this transition to UKG with a positive attitude and a growth mindset. We can do difficult things together!

Have a great weekend~Juan

To do

From April re: UKG and Non-contract time

April Jorgenson sent an email out Wednesday re: UKG.  As she stated, April’s been working with the UKG team regarding the issue of “non-contract” time not being available in the dropdown menu.  This issue won’t be fixed until after this pay period ends, so any non-contract time that you’ve taken between 02/13/23 and 03/12/23 needs to be recorded on your Google calendar that you have been using so far this year.  This is only for NON-CONTRACT time…all other leave (sick, bereavement, etc.) will need to be recorded in UKG.

From Paul Dean, Human Resources

First Digital Submissions of Time/Leave 

Please remember that all BLS employees regardless of whether or not someone has had any time off or has had supplemental or secondary hours/jobs within the 2/13 – 3/12 pay period must digitally submit their timesheet though UKG.  Instructions on how to log and submit timesheets can be found (1) in UKG, under the Self-Service tab or (2) within the Staff Portal on the UKG Product Suite page.

Here is the timesheet submission and approval timeline:

  • All employees will have until 11:00pm Sunday night (March 12) to submit their timesheets
  • Office Managers/timekeepers will then have until 11:00 pm on Monday (March 13) to finish review & corrections then submit timesheets to supervisors
  • Supervisors will have until 11:00 pm Tuesday (March 14) to do final approval

Payroll will be extracting data on Wednesday for processing.

Frontline Absence Management/Aesop Users

We’ve encountered some difficulties in transferring absence data from Frontline to UKG.  For this reason, your UKG timesheet may not accurately reflect your time-off during this current pay period (2/13 – 3/12). We will not be attempting to transfer data from Frontline to UKG until further notice as we troubleshoot this problem. You can track our progress by viewing the UKG Implementation Page within the staff portal.

As you review your UKG timesheet in preparation for submitting it (on 3/13), you’ll need to seek assistance from your timekeeper/office manager to correct your timesheet for missing or incorrect time-off entries.  You can do this by emailing your timekeeper/office manager with the list of time-off details (dates/times/absence reasons) that need to be corrected as only they have UKG permissions to make these changes (you do not).

You still retain the ability to make UKG timesheet entries for additional hours worked for your secondary or supplemental jobs.    

We appreciate your support and patience as we continue to transition from paper to digital processing of time/leave entries.

Leah and Jason in the Business Department

Updated Field Trip/Activity Request Form

This updated form has been posted to the portal (form date 3/2023). Please have staff members begin using this form immediately. As a reminder, nursing staff must be provided notice about the trip, in writing, at least 2 weeks prior. There is an area on the updated form for the requestor to provide the nurse’s name and notification date and time. This section of the form must be completed in order for the trip to be approved. 

The field trip form can be found in the  Field Trips – Permission Forms folder

For any students requiring direct care nursing support, teachers must complete the Request for Direct Care Nursing Service Form. Thank you!

This and That

Staffing Plans

April is working on the staffing plan template for each school.  As soon as they are completed, I will review them and send them out. I am hoping to put these in your hands next week.

3.3.2023 (Week of Feb. 27)

Team,

In the upcoming month Eric Powell and I would like to get in front of your staff to briefly talk about the classroom observations. We have gotten some feedback from the first two visits and we want to lower any concerns teachers might have. So, here are some details that are important to do:

  • Schedule your classroom/environmental observation for me and Eric with Magadalyn Hasse (Denise Sevigny is now retired) If you haven’t already.
  • Schedule a 10 minute presentation for me and Eric to come to one of your staff meetings with Magadalyn Hasse.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Have a restful weekend. ~Juan

New Oregon TAG Rules (From Kelle Hildebrandt): In January 2022, the Oregon State Board of Education adopted new TAG identification rules that are intended to uproot a system of prescribed inequitable outcomes. These newly designed and adopted rules have created new learning curves for districts and educators throughout Oregon. I have taken on some leadership to help evaluate our current TAG systems in BLS and assimilate these new rules. We have gathered a TAG advisory team that is currently working on a Core Beliefs document and learning about the new rules. Next year, the team will recommend changes to our assessment, identification, and instructional services. For this year, our systems will look the same as in previous school years. Please reach out to Kelle for any TAG questions or support.

Team,

I am sure you put in a full week of work despite the holiday on Monday. Looking ahead to our time together on March 9, our next MS work session, what scenario for our problem of practice, do we want to unpack? I will have Eric bring the scenario. Or Eric can continue with the one from last time. You can let us know by sending an email. Here is the doc from last time.

Have a great weekend, and I appreciate all that you do for our MS students! ~Juan

UKG Update

  • Our Time and Leave Team continues to work on backend issues that are causing some leave accruals to be inaccurate.  This issue is actively being addressed and won’t cease until the data displayed within UKG matches our paper payroll records.
  • Employees are instructed to only access UKG by signing into our internal UKG link with their BLS username and password.  Staff who attempt to login via the external BLS jobs link will be locked out of UKG.  To be unlocked, staff will need to submit a request through the IT Web Help Desk external. BLS employees are to follow these instructions when applying for other BLS openings.
  • We are in the process of updating the time-off choices with Frontline Absence Management/Aesop to match the choices within UKG.  Next week, we will provide a cheat sheet to assist staff in selecting the correct drop-down option.
