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

Student Health Survey:<\/strong> Begin preparing to implement this survey to all of your juniors:
1. Prior to October 24:<\/strong> Communicate to your staff that we are implementing the survey to JUNIORS this year and how this will happen in your building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HERE <\/a>is a helpful powerpoint about the survey and the role of the survey coordinator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driver\u2019s Ed Awarded Credit Alignment<\/strong>: As you are aware, Bend – La Pine high school students can receive .5 Elective Credits<\/strong> when they successfully complete all program aspects of the High Desert Driving School Program.   The grade awarded for Driver\u2019s Ed is a proficiency grade and should be noted as a  \u201cP\u201d on their official high school transcript<\/strong>.  Counselors, Curriculum Secretaries and Administrators will be reminded of grading policy to ensure that each high school is aligned moving forward.  Students will still need to request that the credit be added to their transcript by submitting a copy of their HDDE course completion card and completing the \u201cApplication for Driver\u2019s Education Credit\u201d form that can be found in the counseling office.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will not be retroactively changing grades from years past, but this practice is in effect for 2022-23 school year and beyond. We will begin with this year\u2019s 9th graders. To remain equitable with other students who have already received the credits in higher grades<\/strong>, students in grades 10-12 can choose a P or A to be transcribed on their transcript.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This change has been shared with the HDESD, your counselors and curriculum secretaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Lora: <\/strong>At a couple of our schools, staff have ordered curricular materials\/licenses\/products that have proved problematic for different reasons: 1) in one case, the district already had licenses for the materials, so staff spent considerable time with customer service in order to cancel the new order; 2) in another case, staff ordered materials that don\u2019t align with the content standards in a particular subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going forward, do NOT order new curricular materials <\/strong>without approval from Julie Walker (elementary) or Dean Richards (secondary).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
