Nonbinary teen wins…<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n I think you all are doing wonderful work for our schools, students, and families! ~Juan <\/p>\n\n\n\n UKG Data Check<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We are asking building leaders to confirm that their staff assignments in UKG are correct. You may navigate to your My Team tab, then go to My Saved Reports and Staff Assignments to view your people and positions. If you see something that isn\u2019t accurate, please use the link below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please don\u2019t undertake this task until Monday, October 2 and complete this google form<\/a> with your corrections by Friday, October 6th<\/p>\n\n\n\n Performance Evaluation Module<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We are going to use the week of October 2nd to complete our testing (thank you Julie and Sky View MS staff for helping us with this) and then roll out communications regarding the launch of Certified goal-setting, observations and evaluations processes. Certified staff can expect an introductory notification through UKG regarding the launch of Performance by October 6th. From Sean Reinhart<\/p>\n\n\n\n Need emergency EA Support Now?<\/strong> You have funds for that. <\/strong>All building discretionary budgets contain a line item titled \u201cHigh Needs\u201d. These dollars come directly from the Student Services discretionary account for buildings to use. The purpose of these funds is to support building administrators to quickly staff for students with high needs. The funds are available to use at your discretion for supplemental subs and equates to 70 hours of a substitute classified educational assistant. This is an annual allocation, and the typical carryover (10%) rules will apply as with all other discretionary monies. These funds are only to support high-need students that you believe require additional staffing. Some other considerations when utilizing the high needs students discretionary funds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additional Student Services Staffing Requests:<\/strong> Any requests for additional Student Services staff (included unfilled positions) need to come directly from building administrators and not from learning specialists. Each request will be reviewed by a team of Student Services administrators and level leaders for consideration. Some considerations when requesting additional student services staff:<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Jennifer Hauth<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wayfinder Assessment<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you to all of the schools that started or completed the assessment this week. Shout out to\u00a0Bend High (75%)<\/strong>and\u00a0La Pine Middle (80%)<\/strong>\u00a0for the highest stundet completion rates so far! We know there were some bumps for student logins, but we are hopeful those have all been sorted. If you have not started\/finished, please make sure you have time scheduled next week for all of your students to complete the assessment (about 30 minutes). All students will access Wayfinder through the Clever app on their ipads. Please do a test run with a few students\/teachers to make sure everything is working. Here is the\u00a0one-pager<\/a>\u00a0as you are helping students login. Also, if student are not able to see their \u201cTo-do\u201d list on their ipads, please make sure\u00a0\u00a0that students rotate their ipad screens to see if that helps, or try to use their fingers to pinch in\/out to see if they can find the to-do list. The assessment closes\u00a0at the end of the day on Friday, October 6th<\/sup>.\u00a0 Your school will have access to the results of the assessment on your admin dashboard for all of your students in the six core skills. The results will show celebrations in what strengths your students already have and help guide your school team in areas of growth as a school community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Culture of Care<\/p>\n\n\n\n Culture of Care has two upcoming opportunities we want to make sure you’re aware of (and to please pass along to others!): <\/p>\n\n\n\n 1.

We always welcome you to walk with us during our visits to highlight safety strengths and concerns for your building, but we understand it\u2019s not feasible for you to spend the entire time with us during our visits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These visits are not a \u201cgotcha\u201d moment, but more of an opportunity for the district safety team to spend time in your schools partnering with you to ensure you have the safest learning environment possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please reach out to us with any questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n From Dean Richards<\/p>\n\n\n\n MS<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are again providing professional development supports for teachers who are seeking ways to accelerate the learning of students who are currently performing below expectations in Language Arts. This day long professional development class is designed to support evidence-based instructional moves that teachers can give to accelerate learning. The main audience is the classroom teachers. Special Education teachers may also benefit from the professional learning.

Administrative\/supervisor are invited to view the google document Performance: Certified Evaluation<\/a> to begin to acclimate yourself to this module. It includes short video tutorials. I am scheduled to conduct a Performance training with all administrators on Wednesday, October 25th at Bend Senior High School, but you\u2019ll need to be interacting with this module for Certified goal-setting and Observations prior to the 25th. I will schedule a couple of weekly virtual drop in sessions and advertise those in next week\u2019s blog to assist with any questions that you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
