Have a great weekend. ~Juan <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As the last day of school approaches, ensure you have your check-out system ready for teachers. Please communicate your system with your staff.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensure all evaluations are complete.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensure main schedules are complete.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n From Becca Burda<\/p>\n\n\n\n We know you\u2019re counting down the days left in the school year but we are already hard at work on the Welcome Back program on Tuesday, August 27. This year\u2019s virtual presentation will have a direct feed to every building! That means your school community will have a moment to stand out and shine. Throughout the program, we\u2019ll go live to each school for 20 seconds. Find a unique way to say HELLO to all of Bend-La Pine Schools across the district. There will be prizes to the most creative greetings. Let the idea buzz around your head this summer and be ready to offer ideas to your school when you return in August. <\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Have a great summer!<\/em><\/strong> Save the Date<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n From Kinsey<\/p>\n\n\n\n Free and Reduced Lunch<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n With the great news about our schools moving to CEP status (and school-wide free lunch), we need a thoughtful game plan for supporting families in accessing the district and community benefits that come with the traditional Free and Reduced Lunch<\/em> application\/status specific to their family. Our first step in this process is to identify every possible component of our system that requires a FRL application in order to access\/benefit (AP exam discounts, fee waivers, etc). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Can you please do two things<\/strong>: 1) Add any items here<\/a> that you are aware of that are directly connected to a student’s qualification for Free\/Reduced Lunch, and 2) Share this with your staff so they can contribute to creating a comprehensive list. We will use this information to coordinate alternative ways to access these benefits, and\/or to enhance supports for families in submitting applications even in CEP settings. Thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Upcoming professional learning opportunities<\/u><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please see Kinsey’s June 11th email about professional learning opportunities. CFEE and Taking It Up are district priorities for professional learning, so please review and register for those as applicable. Also, encourage your ICCL team or whole staff to attend Taking It Up. Hearing that this matters to you as their building supervisor is a big motivator in increasing participation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Jackie Mueller<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summer Energy Conservation and SOP<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is the Holiday SOP<\/a> as a reminder about shutting down the schools when the last of the staff and students depart for the summer holiday. Completing building walk-throughs, we have seen high participation in closing schools over the breaks which is translating into savings. Here is an alternative reminder for staff<\/a> and a checklist<\/a> that can be shared. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Schools are going into unoccupied mode on June 24th<\/sup>. The morning purge is still active to try and get the schools down to 70 but the AC will be off. Please try to be cognizant of lighting and open windows and doors in schools to try and keep it cool.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Stephen Duval<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please take the time to fill out this survey<\/a> regarding your school\u2019s plans for grading and grade books next year. To support MTSS data systems, we need to ensure each school has a plan for grades to be accurate and readily available in Synergy. This will also help us support the beginning of the year gradebook setup for staff. Please contact Stephen with any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Nick Shien<\/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 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: <\/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 August Professional Learning Calendar<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n August 5 & 6\u00a0<\/strong>K-12 All Admin Kick-off Location TBD<\/p>\n\n\n\n August 8: Middle School 24-25 Kick-Off\u00a0<\/strong>9:00-3:00 Location TBD<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inservice Week Certified work calendar <\/strong><\/a>for 24-25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Team, Happy last Friday of the school year!!
