From Tami Pike: Please share the HERO Kids Registry Information with your families.
Overview:
HERO Kids Registry is a voluntary, no-cost system that lets any Oregon family record critical health information about their child before an emergency. Registry information can be accessed quickly by EMS and hospital emergency departments at the moment they need it.
Registering with HERO Kids is especially useful for young people who are medically fragile, or for those who have complex conditions, developmental disabilities, or mental health conditions. Young people in a crisis can’t always communicate their needs. Family members may not be present, or they may too distressed to help. Language barriers can impede communication. HERO Kids Registry can help offset some of these challenges.
Parents and legal guardians can register their child or young adult with HERO Kids online, and there is a paper registration option for people who prefer it. Young adults aged 15-26 can register themselves. HERO Kids Registry is secure and HIPAA-compliant.
Please share this information with your families in your next family newsletter. It is specifically for Families of Students with Complicated or Chronic
Health Conditions, Developmental Disabilities or Mental Health Conditions.

Correction in Staff Spotlight: In the message from Board Chair Dholakia in this week’s Staff Spotlight, there was a statement, “…our honors diploma now includes multiple options for capstone work – AP, IB, DI, and CTE.” The proposal to broaden the type of courses needed to earn an Honors Diploma is up for approval as part of the administrative regulation related to graduation at the upcoming board meeting in December. We apologize for any confusion.

Performance Module
Goals For Certified Staff:
- All certified staff are required to submit goals through UKG
- Classroom teachers are required to submit SLGG goals and their UKG form is organized as such
- Everyone else is prompted to submit goals but are not asked to submit SLGGs
- Jennifer Hauth has emailed a goal template for Student Success staff for them to copy, complete and upload to their UKG goal form
- Josh Marks has provided a goal template for Speech staff to do the same
- If a staff member has not been provided with a template from someone who oversees their program, then they are to follow the instructions within UKG to provide their own personal goals for the year
Rollout Update:
- By November 18 – All building administrators (principals, assistant principals, deans) will be able to access and complete their goal setting forms which will then flow to their direct supervisor for approval and finalization.
- By December 2, all remain BLAST members will be able to access and complete their goal setting forms which will then flow to their direct supervisor for approval and finalization.
- In April, all BLAST members will be assigned the self-evaluation form to complete.
- In May, BLAST members responsible for evaluating other BLAST members will be assigned the summative evaluation form for each of those individuals.
IMPORTANT: Evaluation and Non-Renewal Reminder
