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

ACR’s for 23-24:<\/strong> Please remind your front office and counseling teams of our ACR process:<\/strong> If a student from another school reaches out to your school about transferring, remind them to complete an ACR.\u00a0 These ACR’s will be reviewed at the end of this year and again in early August. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

School staff can share with families that their request will be\u00a0considered based on balancing the numbers by school and grade AND using priority considerations.<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students currently on an ACR seeking to return to their boundary school are not automatically approved. These students must submit an ACR for consideration.\u00a0 This is the case for students considering transferring to or from BTA@MHS and Realms HS, as well as the comprehensive high schools in Bend and La Pine.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Kinsey:<\/strong> Respectful language message to families<\/strong>: Kinsey recently sent an email to all principals with a message that needs to go out to all your families re: respectful language.\u00a0 Please be sure to\u00a0read\u00a0that email\u00a0and\u00a0send the message to your families as soon as you can.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Principals, Recently two of our student\/family advisory groups provided important recommendations related to our work with bias, inclusion, and belonging.\u00a0 Given that guidance and partnership from our advisory teams, we will be sending\u00a0this message<\/a>\u00a0to all families via the next district-wide Spotlight newsletter on April 17.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From our HS WS this week:<\/strong> One of our agenda items Tuesday was to share input on the Honors Diploma from our District Student Advisory Group. They have requested that we collect additional input from students. Principals agreed to meet with their student groups to review the proposal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a link to a very simple\u00a0slide show<\/a>\u00a0to use when working with your student groups to provide feedback. \u00a0The last slide has a feedback form they can use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please check in with your superintendent’s advisory council rep(s) and create a space for one or more of your school teams to weigh in on the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would like this information by the end of May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
