One student working with a teacher, by definition, does not constitute a cohort. Teachers can be in three cohorts of no more than 10, OR a total of 30 interactions, each day. If teachers are involved in individual 1 to 1 interactions and not cohorts of multiple students, they can still only interact with no more&nbsp; than 30 total students a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s important to distinguish differences in the roles staff play within schools. Typically a specialist or counselor as you mentioned work with individual students, and not always cohorts. Given that, these interactions can be thought of more as total contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1kZld5N84btvbe6CuZJC0S9NL-grlO5_nu8hcp0Ky8hU\/edit?usp=sharing\"><strong>LIPI and After School Planning Guide<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please prepare a document for your school that tracks on-campus student groups for LIPI and after school activities.

The driver will then take roll for contract tracing and be ready to send them into the school. We need staff available to take students at this time. Buses then need to be sanitized and drivers head to their next stop\/school. This also gives students time to transition to class and be ready for school.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q:&nbsp; &nbsp; What time does the bus pick up after school?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A:&nbsp; &nbsp; The bus will be there at the end of the school day. We give students 8 minutes to load prior to leaving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q:&nbsp; &nbsp; I know the bus stops at the corner of 3rd &amp; Wilson, can I add students to that stop that live nearby?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: &nbsp; &nbsp; No, you must complete a LIPI form and follow the time guidelines to add a student. Each student is assigned a specific seat on each bus. We are receiving forms daily and process them by the time stamp. Forms received by Friday, will be processed the following week and the student can start riding the week after that. Ex.&nbsp; You submit the form 10\/21, we work on the routing the week of 10\/26, the student can start riding the week of 11\/2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q:&nbsp; &nbsp; How do families find out their bus stop times?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A:\u00a0 \u00a0 The driver will call each family on their route. Some students have different times each day (depending on who is riding that day). Families can expect a phone call the evening before their start date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This message is from Marsha Baro: The <strong>SafeSchools Safety Data Management Program<\/strong> is now available to all staff on our staff portal.\u00a0 It is my hope that this information might be shared at each site\u2019s Safety Team meeting so that all staff are aware of this tool. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1SDCSdJM5N7CNMoK6rp_Gh6a87PCD3Xxn\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\">A QR code sheet<\/a> can be printed and posted if schools see fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Calendar:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HS Administrator WebEx Meeting:<\/strong>  Wednesday, Oct 28@ 9:00am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HS Administrator WebEx Training:<\/strong>  Wednesday, Nov 4@ 3:00-4:00pm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supports for instruction developed by Dean Richards (AD of Secondary Curriculum\/Instruction\/Systems) and Michele Clements (ELA coordinator): Thank you for your survey feedback &#8211; we learned there was a strong desire to receive the content first and then push it out &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/katie.legace\/2020\/10\/23\/october-23-2020\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":538,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2215","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/katie.legace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/katie.legace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/katie.legace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/katie.legace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/538"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/katie.legace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2215"}],"version-history":[{"count":45,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/katie.legace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2215\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2260,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/katie.legace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2215\/revisions\/2260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/katie.legace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/katie.legace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/katie.legace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
