Team,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I appreciate your work and effort that you do for your staff, students and families. My visits with Eric and with your ICCLs have been so informative. We are looking forward to the next steps; visiting classrooms, noticing instruction and observing school environments. Let me and Denise know if you are not scheduled for these walk-throughs in February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From Aimee Snyder <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please clic on this link<\/a>.<\/em> In this link you will find a doc to share with families (English & espa\u00f1ol) about student vaping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Eric Powell <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello Secondary Principals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you have a free moment, would you please review this document to provide any adjustments\/changes you’d want made as we look toward this being a visible document for parents\/students\/community for the 23-24 school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINK to BLS Cell Phones\/Electronics<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of this document is to be simple\/structured enough for all schools to put in place, but also with some areas for schools to implement according to what works at your specific sites. The language around “Support Plans” would give you the freedom to create a strict ‘support plan’ (ie: Phone required to be turned in daily) while also accounting for a ‘support plan’ that is thoughtful of a unique student situation (IEP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally: For lunch and passing, it seems like there may be some difference between what Middle Schools and High Schools want (and we’d want to be thoughtful of REALMS as well).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Middle School Principals: Are you currently allowing (or not allowing) cell phones or devices during Passing\/Lunch; Do you want to align next year and have NO electronics allowed during passing\/lunch?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For High School Principals: Are electronics allowed during passing\/lunch? Do you want this to continue for next year?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erin’s Law<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Principals please check-in with your Health\/PE teachers. Please know that some middle school PE\/Health teachers did not request Safety Matters (curriculum), but that does not mean that they are not in complying with Erin’s Law. The check-in is to know how they are complying with the law. Here is a google form<\/a> for you to complete this request. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UKG Update<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMPORTANT: Job Postings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the transition from Frontline’s recruiting system to UKG, we will not have any jobs closing from Monday, February 13 – Thursday, February 16 to give us time to confirm that the open postings due to close after the 16th<\/sup> and all applicant data has sucessfully been moved from one system to the other.  Our hr-postings@bend.k12.or.us<\/a> team will work with you to have a closing date before or after this window.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You WILL<\/u><\/strong> be able to screen applicants and request to hire for postings that close prior to February 12th<\/sup> through Frontline (all data in Frontline will be retained until June 30th).  There will be a transitionary period when you may be using both Frontline and UKG to complete the hiring process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To learn more about this and how UKG’s recruiting system functions, don’t forget to sign up for one of the trainings below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
