To Do:
From Kinsey: June DEI lessons: Here is a lesson on Juneteenth and a lesson for Pride Month. Just as we expect teachers to teach about topics like Hispanic Heritage Month, Lunar New Year, or the American Revolution, we similarly ask teachers to include the history and heritage related to these two topics in June (which are directly represented in state learning standards within Ethnic Studies and Health, and in line with our school board priorities for representation and belonging within curriculum and instruction).
Please share these with your teachers asap, participate in some classrooms during these conversations, and/or reach out to a LEAD/Equity Coach or to Kinsey if you’d like partnership!

Information:
Priority Standards: At our administrator work session this week, our secondary TOSA’s shared with us the fantastic priority standards work our teacher representatives have been embarking on with Anne McCarty-Perez this spring. Here is an example of the progress made in the five content areas so far.
In addition to a summary of the priority standards work, we reviewed the latest draft of the professional development plan for next year, as it relates to moving staff forward. Feel free to get input from your ICCL team members on this latest draft. We will discuss the next draft at our June 20th wrap-up work session. Here are the slides from our HS work session from Tuesday.

CPR/First Aid Updates
From Stephanie Bent: With summer break quickly approaching I just wanted to give an update on First Aid / CPR certification.
If you would like to renew your First Aid / CPR (or take it for the first time) before school starts again in the fall, PLEASE SIGN UP THRU PERFORMANCE MATTERS BEFORE JUNE 13, 2023
HANDS ON SKILL CLASSES (20 min class) will be offered at the end of August.
THERE WILL BE NO HANDS ON SKILLS CLASSES DURING THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER.They will resume again in October.

From Lora Nordquist: If your site is not meeting state ratios, BEA members may be paid the curriculum rate and OSEA members will be paid their hourly rate to take the training. Sites can cover their time away from their worksite with subs.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From Tami Pike: Please remind your office managers/secretaries to check the orange first aid bag for supply expiration. Schools need to reorder supplies to replace those expired items in their bags and to be prepared for the return to classes in the fall. Items may include: Burn shield dressing gel, burn gel packs, instant hand sanitizer packets, first aid and burn cream packets, and eye wash.

From Julianne – It is that time of year again… controlled burns are taking place throughout the region and skies are smoky. To that end, we want to be sure that you review these air quality tools so that you can make decisions about student and staff safety at your school sites.
