From Stephen Duval<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please take the time to fill out\u00a0this survey<\/a>\u00a0regarding your school\u2019s plans for grading and gradebooks next year. \u00a0In order to support MTSS data systems, we need to ensure each school has a plan for grades to be accurate and readily available in Synergy. \u00a0This will also help us support the beginning of the year gradebook setup for staff. \u00a0Please contact Stephen with any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Certified Evaluations System for 2023-2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n Middle school admin teams, Please ensure you are using the below Modified Evaluation System for Certified Staff, 2023-24<\/em> Here is the doc<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n From Stephen Duval<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please take the time to fill out\u00a0this survey<\/a>\u00a0regarding your school’s plans for grading and gradebooks next year. \u00a0In order to support MTSS data systems, we need to ensure each school has a plan for grades to be accurate and readily available in Synergy. \u00a0This will also help us support the beginning of the year gradebook setup for staff. \u00a0Please contact Stephen with any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Nick Shien (Reminder)<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we approach the end of the year, we wanted to get some quick accounting information and reminders out to you all. Please review, and reach out to Nick Shein (nick.shein@bend.k12.or.us<\/a>) if you have any questions or concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Guidance on Gift Cards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n School Funds Recap<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Youth Truth Data (Reminder)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please\u00a0process your YouthTruth data with your staff\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0share key positives and areas for growth, as well as next steps, with your families and students\u00a0<\/strong>by the end of the school year. Principals, you are strongly encouraged to additionally\u00a0process<\/strong>\u00a0your school\u2019s data with your families and students, particularly, with your\u00a0principal\u2019s student advisory team<\/strong>, with the intention of setting school improvement and student learning growth goals (SLGGS). However, processing with these groups is not required this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Scott McDonald (Reminder)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Greetings,<\/p>\n\n\n\n You are receiving this email because a majority of schools were slated for either a complete swap of their student iPads or were going to be receiving replacements for 6th<\/sup> and 7th<\/sup> gen iPads. This swap is currently on hold. A purchase is still anticipated, but the timeline has changed. The determining factors for this delay are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Moving to the next generation of iPad involves investment in peripheral technology that is greater than anticipated \u2013 namely keyboard and headphone adaptors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Logistical and instructional considerations that may impact school locations that actually need to swap devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At this time, plan on your roll-in to continue as planned outside of any devices being retired. iPads will need to be stored like in years past by student last name, next year\u2019s teacher, etc. The Tier 1 website<\/a> will reflect these changes as soon as possible. Please reach out to your building\u2019s IT Client Services tech, a fellow Tier 1 or Roy Fuller for help or idea\u2019s for rolling in. For a quick reference see below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Middle School iPads<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6th<\/sup>-7th<\/sup> grade iPads will stay with the current student<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8th<\/sup> grade iPads will roll down to incoming 6th<\/sup> graders<\/p>\n\n\n\n We will continue to remove any 6th<\/sup> gen iPads that have issues or swap any 6th<\/sup> or 7th<\/sup> gen iPad for a student who needs a newer device for OCR support as we\u2019ve always done. High Schools will continue to receive 9th<\/sup> gens as replacements to keep device types consistent. If any student in K-8th<\/sup> grade needs to have an iPad over the summer (summer school or family request), please have the family fill out the attached form to be given to you before the iPad is taken home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n iPad agreement form<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Culture of Care<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is the\u00a0<\/span>latest news and workshop offerings<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n 504 Trainings<\/p>\n\n\n\n Option for Administrators from CASE:\u00a0LINK HERE!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n June 1:<\/strong> Pride @ Drake Park (BLS Family Advisory hosting a booth)<\/p>\n\n\n\n June 6: <\/strong>Middle School Horizontal @LPMS at 3:00-4:30<\/p>\n\n\n\n June 6: <\/strong>GSA in the Park: 10-1 at Troy Field\/Ed Center<\/p>\n\n\n\n June 15-16: <\/strong>Juneteenth Community Celebration in Drake Park<\/p>\n\n\n\n June 18: <\/strong>Last Day of School<\/p>\n\n\n\n June 19: <\/strong>Juneteenth Holiday<\/p>\n\n\n\n June 20:\u00a0<\/strong>Admin end-of-year celebration @11:30<\/p>\n\n\n\n The month of July: Rest and relaxation!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Team, I’d like to give a special shout-out to Jennifer and Jess for their efforts in recognizing and celebrating counselors today.
