From Kinsey Martin<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Civil Rights Training:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Can you please make a record here<\/a> when you’ve completed the Civil Rights training<\/strong> with staff at your site? This should be done by end of October. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As you engage in this conversation with staff, if you find format tweaks to make this more meaningful or effective, please share your ideas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are<\/a> the slides and notes\/talking points. Here<\/a> is the Trivia Sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New: here is<\/a> a poster\/handout to<\/strong> print and make available for easy reference for reporting (and\/or, bookmark the form link). Either you (if you’ll collect and report each incident) or your staff (if you have teachers report incidents themselves) should have this readily available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reminder: this reporting tool is for staff use only at this time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact Kinsey and\/or Steve Herron if you would like support with this presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n From Chad Brewer, Assistant IT Director Client Services<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n These updates both contain security patches for active exploits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Due to the importance of the 14.8 update for staff, I\u2019ve disabled the 7 day update deferral for staff iPads. Staff should update their iPad to 14.8 as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT212807<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n macOS 11.6 should\u2019ve been available on staff Macs as soon as it was released yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT212804<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n From Julianne Repman<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n SRP training for the SY 21-22 has been updated to include the HOLD and SECURE protocols. The Secure protocol replaced the term Lockout from the previous SRP protocols. The protocols to conduct a Secure have not changed from the Lockout protocols, only the terminology as Lockout and Lockdown were often confused as protocols. The current posters that you should use to replace the outdated ones in your school are here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In lieu of Scott Bojanowski, Julianne Repman, and the SRO coming out to schools and going over the protocols during a one-hour in person training this school year, we ask that you have your staff watch the SRP 2021 What\u2019s New video<\/a> (6 minutes in length) that discusses the SRP protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please have staff complete watching the video by October 31, 2021<\/strong> and type in your school name and the date you watched it here<\/a><\/strong> <\/a>when you are done. If after you watch the video and want Scott, Julianne, and the SRO to come visit and answer any questions, they would be happy to come for a visit\u2013just reach out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Lora Nordquist<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Outdoor Lunch<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a new expectation for meals when the temperature starts to drop. Please follow as stated below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n K-8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Require K-8 to come inside for meals at 45-degrees. If outside temperature + windchill is lower than 40-degrees, move meals inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the air temperature is 48 degrees and there are sustained winds at 25 mph, then the wind chill temperature is 40 degrees = Meals inside<\/p>\n\n\n\n Encouraging students to dress in layers will be important as well on days where it will be close to the minimum threshold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For all:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You are welcome to use WeatherUnderground, or similar weather reporting tool, to identify weather stations nearest to your school: https:\/\/www.wunderground.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n From Amy Tarnow<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Please share this with your teachers!<\/em> Here is a consolidated list of the resources our team has been asked for the most this week: 21-22 Canvas and Synergy Grade Setup<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Setting Up for Grade Passback<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Canvas Beginning and End of Year Checklist<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cross-listing How-To<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n How do I copy content from another Canvas course using the Course Import tool?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We are working to update all dashboards and access in Grade Guardian.<\/strong> As a reminder, this is the tool that lets staff visually see how students are doing and identify those who are at risk of failing. If you have specific access requests or dashboard requests for your site, please send them to Laura Clark. This fall, Canvas is offering FREE virtual 1:1 sessions <\/strong>for teachers to review and refine their Canvas courses with an edtech and instruction design expert. This is such a cool opportunity! \u201cPanda Pro\u2019s<\/strong>\u201d are prepared to give advice ranging from best practices with modules to accessibility, functionality of included tools like speedgrader or the rich text editor, and course design.

This will connect you to the contact tracer \u201con call\u201d for that weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The number is 541-355-6930.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For positive cases reported over the <\/strong>weekend<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n For positive cases received during the week after school hours<\/strong>, please complete the COVID Positive, Primary Symptom, Exposure Reporting F<\/a>orm and a contact tracer will follow-up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n From Sean Reinhart<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hi all,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please see the linked letter which describes our partnership with The Child Center for outpatient behavior health services. There is one small action item. Admin need to complete a 30 second form indicating a Point of Contact (POC) for he Child Center. Let me know if you have any questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I will be sending this to elem and MS counselors and school psychs as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1pPuFQ-EZHwFcLYnlgGKxd6LGUuUEIZb_OGc8vbyc86M\/edit?usp=sharing<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n More from Sean Reinhart<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n BLPS_Mask_Exemption_as_an_Accomadation_Flow_Chart<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n From Sean & Jennifer<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n An important note from Sean and Jennifer about requests for tele-counseling:<\/strong>It appears that some parents are requesting that their students have telehealth counseling appointments during the school day in outbuildings. This does not include our partners The Child Center and Trillium<\/strong>, which would be permissible. We are advising against this for these reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Kids have medical and counseling appointments during the school day already. Parents check them out and then check them back into school in these instances. Therefore, during the Dr. appointment, they are under the supervision of their parents. We don\u2019t want a student getting a counseling appointment at school while under our supervision. The exception would be if it is an entity that we have an MOU with, like The Child Center or Trillium.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. School would have to provide a quiet environment for this. That would now be an administrative challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. What if the student is triggered and has an emotional break? Who puts that back together?<\/p>\n\n\n\n We propose that parents can come and check their students in and out of school for these types of appointments. If you want to discuss a specific scenario, please contact Jennifer or Sean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From High Desert ESD-Lauren Wood<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n The HDESD is rolling out <\/strong>Connect Workshops<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> a free 2-hour workshop designed for parents or guardians of 5th<\/sup>-12th<\/sup> graders, to equip them with the information, skills and coaching to have effective prevention conversations with their children around substance use. They have 12 virtual workshops which will take place in September \u2013 November (10 in English, 2 in Spanish). (https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SharedFutureCoalition\/<\/a>) PLEASE promote these classes widely within your networks!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n From the Business Office<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n From Stephanie Bent<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bend-La Pine Schools will once again provide Spanish training and conversational practice taught by OSU-Cascades and COCC instructor David Engel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mondays, 4:30-5:15 pm (beginning Sept.27) \u2013 Level One (True Beginner) <\/strong>learn to introduce yourself, basic conversation skills and introduction to present tense verbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tuesdays, 4:30-5:15 pm \u2013 (beginning Sept.28) \u2013 Level One (True Beginner) <\/strong>learn to introduce yourself, basic conversation skills and introduction to present tense verbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tuesdays, 5:30-6:15 pm \u2013 (beginning Sept.28) \u2013 Level two (Advancing Beginner) <\/strong>practice conversation skills and use of present tense verbs, introduction to the past tense<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thursdays, 4:30-5:15 pm (beginning Sept.30) \u2013 Level Three (Beginning \/ Intermediate) <\/strong>practice with conversation skills and use of preterite verb tense to narrate past events, introduction to imperfect verb tense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thursdays, 5:30-6:15 pm (beginning Sept.30) \u2013 Level Four (Advancing Intermediate) <\/strong>practice with conversation in present and past, practice commands and future tense, introduction to present perfect and other grammatical constructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From HR<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Employee badges are backlogged because of staffing issues and priority being given to some other projects (ie \u2013 making sure people get paid!). Please be patient with your employees who do not yet have a badge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From HR again <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Please remind your staff (all staff) to complete the vaccination survey recently sent out by Steve Herron in HR. Can\u2019t find it? Check your \u201cClutter\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From transportation<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n All field trips driving or walking are on hold<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wearing Masks Outside<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n I don’t want anyone to be confused about wearing masks outside. When should we wear masks and when is it ok not to wear them. Here is the OLD guidance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Masks are not required for outdoor recess, meals, outdoor classes and those actively engaged in sports. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is the NEW guidance: <\/p>\n\n\n\n All individuals 5 years of age and older are to wear a face covering outdoors when individuals cannot or do not consistently maintain at least 6 feet of physical distance from people not in their household.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n So, whether inside or outside, correctly wearing our masks around our students and families sends a positive message that we care about their health and safety and models the behavior we want everyone to practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Walt and Rob<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Custodial team would like to share some insight into cleaning and the Pandemic: <\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the CDC, \u201cThe fomite transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is low compared to direct contact, droplet transmission, or airborne transmission.\u201d As we understand this variant is airborne and surface contamination is a low priority. The updated School Cleaning Protocol is found at Bend-La Pine Schools COVID-19 Cleaning Protocols<\/a>. The protocol also states that, \u201cEach classroom in our schools will be provided with approved cleaning products by the custodial staff. \u201c We will keep providing equipment whether its spray solution and micro fiber in each classroom or cleaning stations with flat mops, solution to dip in, spray bottles and rags, or having both. This will provide your staff with the products to disinfect if needed in their classroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Have a wonderful weekend! Stay classy!!Ha<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello Wave Riders, I hope you had a great week with students and staff. I really appreciated seeing you in action in your buildings.
