That is moved up from March 31 being the end. It is now March 19, in businesses as well as schools. More information and communication will be coming soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spring Conferences<\/p>\n\n\n\n At this time, the plan is to have schools offer in-person and virtual spring conferences. That way we accommodate families who want to come in person and those who are still not yet comfortable doing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Form Austin James<\/p>\n\n\n\n A few bugs were found in the process that analyzes Synergy and Canvas Gradebook setups. Data sent since 2\/7 are affected by these bugs and invalid, so please disregard those reports. Data sent next week will be up to date, more valid, and actionable. We apologize for the inconvenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Human Resources<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please don\u2019t forget that our School District offers an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to help staff navigate life stressors and\/or manage life changing events.

Oregon has nine federally recognized tribes which many Oregonians know little about. In 2017, the introduction of the Tribal History\/Shared history legislation was a first step to increase knowledge of those who have been here since time immemorial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tribal History\/Shared History<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n A note from Ryan Kelling, our Director of Recruitment and Retention <\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m hoping you can pass this flyer<\/a> and the information below (in italics) information along to your staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lewis & Clark is offering an added endorsement in Special Education to teachers in the High Desert Regional District at a special, discounted rate. Classes will be held online to make them more practical and accessible to working teachers. This 10-month program begins July 2022 and there is an information session on March 9 from 5:30 \u2013 6:30 that will be held via Zoom. To register for the information session, please click this link<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n SpEd teachers continue to be in short supply, and this is a good opportunity for already-endorsed certified staff to add a SpEd endorsement at a discounted rate. The Special Education Generalist endorsement gives candidates an extensive overview of special education as it pertains to students with high- and low-incidence disabilities. You will learn how to assess student knowledge, as well as to identify and implement evidence-based practices to increase the success of students with different academic and behavioral disabilities.<\/em> Reach out to Ryan if you have questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Instructional Tech <\/p>\n\n\n\n Digital Citizenship Made Simple<\/a> For the month of March, you will be seeing several posts here on the topic of Digital Citizenship. This is a topic that we all know is important, yet many of us have a hard time finding time to fit it in. Here is a quick video<\/a> showing you how easy it is to sign into Common Sense Media<\/a> and how to access their quick activities. Their material is fantastic and will offer opportunities for rich discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lauren Mallett, of the Oregon Poetry Association<\/em>, sent this information about the 2022 Cascadia Student Poetry Contest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please forward this email to your Language Arts teachers<\/strong>, who may incorporate the contest into their lesson plans (e.g., for April\u2019s National Poetry Month).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cascadia, the Oregon Student Poetry Contest, serves to nurture the talent of young Oregon poets by providing an opportunity for their poems to be widely shared, published, and celebrated.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Please contact Lauren Mallett, Cascadia Student Contest Chair, Oregon Poetry Association, MFA in Creative Writing \u2013 Poetry, laurenmallett.com<\/a> with questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Updated SIW Calendar<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n M.S.
