To Do: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we get ready to welcome students back in Hybrid, here is an article from the Washington Post <\/a>about welcoming students and staff safely back to in-person learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please make note of this needed communication with transportation regarding LIPI<\/strong>\u2026 As you know, the last day for LIPI transportation is Jan. 29. As you also know, we are planning to start asynchronous teaching on Jan. 25. If you are going to continue LIPI during the week of Jan. 25, you do not need to communicate anything to transportation (as they are planning on picking up kids through that week). If you are planning on NOT having LIPI during the week of Jan. 25, then please notify both your LIPI families AND transportation of your new end date for LIPI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please communicate with your staff (certified and classified) that they all need to report back to your building no later than Monday, Jan. 25th<\/strong>. This is the first day of asynchronous teaching and two weeks before Hybrid starts. (MS staff will be asked to report back on this same day, while elementary will return starting next week.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Youthtruth survey is due January 22. Monday, Dave Van Loo will resend you the link to share with your families, staff and students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget to comment on your peer\u2019s equity goals<\/strong> within this spreadsheet<\/a> in the coming days \u2013 prior to our next Excellence and Equity PD on Jan. 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third-year probationary letters<\/strong> are due to HR by Jan. 22. Please reach out to Jon with any questions related to these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TalentEd Perform is now set up for you to enter your SLGGs and Self Assessment. Principals, please plan on completing these two documents in TalentEd no later than Monday, Feb. 1<\/strong>. Assistant Principals, please work with your principal to determine when yours are due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Information:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lora’s Corner:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student teachers: We have checked with TSPC and our partners at George Fox and OSU-Cascades, and student teachers can be hired with restricted licenses for the remainder of this school year. I have shared with the programs that the student teachers need to follow the regular application process if they are interested. NOTE: the OSU-Cascades student teachers would need substitutes for 8 Fridays between now and the end of the year. IF a principal believes that the OSU-Cascades student-teacher is still the best candidate, the district will cover the sub costs as professional development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of our board members, as well as myself, want to be visible in the schools as we re-open (even with small groups) or now with small group instruction-WITHOUT BEING IN THE WAY. PLEASE send us emails to help out with recess, kindergarten orientation, or the first weeks at school, lunch supervision, etc. Anything that could be a genuine help to you and your staff! Please include me as well in this! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All administrators and supervisors are INVITED (not required) to attend a virtual leadership team meeting in Lora\u2019s WebEx room on Friday, 1\/15, at 1:00<\/strong> for updates on returning to school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul’s Corner:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

COVID Updates: An administrator cheat sheet<\/a> has been created to assist building leaders in planning for in-person learning.  I’m still waiting for a link to the cleaning protocol and will let you know when that is ready.  I hope this helps consolidate your thinking with a task-orientated checklist.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HR Update: A letter is going out to all classified staff to determine their return to work intent now that the K-12 phased-in plan has been communicated.  OSEA is reviewing the draft letter and we’ll copy you on the email to classified staff either this afternoon or early Monday when it is sent out.  As a reminder, please be actively reaching out to both your certified and classified staff as we transition in-person education so that you can respond to any workforce issues of people taking Leaves of Absence.  We will not be holding people to 60 days of prior notice due to these unique times.  We encourage administrators\/supervisors to post anticipated open positions ASAP for HR approval.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Return To School Email: I’ll be crafting a Return To School email next week to address some of the most popular topics around meals in school, ventilation, masking and cleaning protocols.  Expect that the all-staff email to be sent mid-week.  There will also be a Leadership Team meeting next Friday, January 15th, at 1 pm to discuss other return to school topics.

An important document to have up to date is this Covid Checklist<\/a>. As you update it\/make changes, please make sure you send Amy Stafford a copy of your updates so she can then update your plan on our district\u2019s webpage. This will be reviewed at your site visit with Paul (and I).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
