Innovation Conference<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n As a middle school team, we are Required<\/em> to attend the following session at the innovation conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Who:<\/strong> Doug Reeves & McCarty-Perez <\/p>\n\n\n\n What:<\/strong> Leading Power Standards work in your Middle School building (Middle school admin only: principals and assistant principals)<\/p>\n\n\n\n When:<\/strong> Wednesday, August 25, 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where:<\/strong> Pacific Crest Middle, Room D116<\/p>\n\n\n\n Time<\/strong>: 10:15-12:00 <\/p>\n\n\n\n No<\/span> QR Codes<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n We just want to clarify some conflicting information you heard on Safety Day regarding the contact tracing QR codes we did last year for all adults coming into the building. Per the district RSSL team, we DO NOT need to do QR codes this year. Daily staff attendance is taken through absences. If contact tracing is needed, a conversation will happen with a staff member, just like before. QR codes don\u2019t do that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n From April Jorgenson, Account Technician (works closely with level leaders)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Every school administrator should have received a leave record calendar via Google Docs from April Jorgenson. This calendar is for keeping track of your non-contract time, as well as any other leave that you may take (i.e., sick, bereavement, etc.). Per district protocol, leave sheets are to be done each and every month, regardless of you taking leave or not. April will send out a reminder once per month to let you know the dates that your leave should fall into. If you have leave to report, please follow in the directions on the “Directions” tab of the calendar. Once you are done, please email April and let her know you are done. She will print off your leave sheet and get the appropriate supervisor to sign it. If you don’t have any leave to report, just email April and she will note that you don’t have leave, print out your leave sheet and get the appropriate supervisor to sign it. If you have any questions, please reach out to April at 541-355-1056 and she is more than happy to walk you through it. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The following information is COVID related. There really isn’t anything for you “To Do” but I wanted to ensure you had this at the top. Meal Plan & Grouping<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n School Design Plan 2.0 <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n From Instructional Technology<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n The instructional tech coaches are putting the finishing touches on a one-stop document for staff that introduces them to our systems and resources. This should be especially helpful for new staff. I will have them send it out to schools as soon as it\u2019s ready. Also, the online method for buying iPad insurance is already up on the InTouch system. The flyer for insurance is getting translated right now. That will be sent out as soon as that is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Kinsey Martin, Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dress Code PolicyLast spring we discussed our district student dress code policy. Recommendations for updating this were designed to align with current best practices, to minimze disparate impact on particular groups of students, and to uphold our equity lens. After conversation with secondary administrators, Cabinet, and student leadership, the recommendations are now in the final stages of the approval process. While this will not be official before mid-September, the recommended policy (draft) is here<\/a> for your own reference. In the meantime for your handbook, you can always just refer to your school dress code being in accordance with district regulation “JFCA-AR: Student Code of Dress, available here<\/a>,” (this is the currently adopted version), so that the upcoming change does not make your handbook outdated. If you have questions about the content of the recommendations, please reach out to Kinsey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n From Dave Williams, Athletic Director<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Masking required indoors<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Masking strongly recommended, but not required, indoors<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No masks required outdoors.<\/strong> From Dana Pederson, FAN Supervisor<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n FAN Staffing for the 21-22 school year: <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n From Scott McDonald, Director of Technology<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n BLS is staying with $30 for insurance for the upcoming school year on iPads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Jackie Wilson Sustainability, Coordinator<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sustainability Advisor <\/p>\n\n\n\n Idling information: <\/p>\n\n\n\n From Lora Nordquist<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n COSA is sponsoring a mindfulness program, tailored for school leaders.

This needs to happen so that Option<\/em> schools get picked-up on schedule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Supply lists and donation requests <\/strong>School Supplies: Do not require families to purchase or donate any school materials or school supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By August 23th please review your websites and Facebook pages for any information that references supply lists, solicits donations for supplies, or asks for donations to the school or PTA.

Source:OHA Masking Requirements for Indoor Spaces This morning the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) released its newly adopted statewide rule regarding masking requirements in indoor spaces (OAR 333-019-1025). The rule is effective beginning today, August 13, 2021. We encourage you to review the rule in its entirety but here are some specific sections of note. (4) Individuals, regardless of vaccination status, are required to wear a mask, face covering or face shield when in an indoor space unless the individual: (d) Is engaged in an activity that makes wearing a mask, face covering or face shield not feasible, such as when actively swimming. (g) Is practicing or playing a competitive sport at any level. (h) Is performing, including but not limited to playing music, delivering a speech to an audience, and theater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for our sadly out-of-date AUP (user agreement). We may need to continue with what is on the website. It is out of date, but we have not been able to prioritize an update. That said, one of my best Roy Fuller will be doing what he can to update it before the year begins. So, do not print anything or advertise until you hear a global announcement from me late next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\nReminders <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
