From Lora<\/strong>: Principals, Our monthly PD session is this Monday, May 1st<\/sup>, in the board room starting at 3:00. Our life and career readiness discussion will end at 4:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our PD survey, a number of leaders expressed interest in digging more deeply into instructional practices next year. Dave VanLoo will be sharing a model with ANY INTERESTED PRINCIPALS AND LLC MEMBERS from 4:00-4:30. The purpose of the presentation is to gauge interest in this approach to instructional improvement and get feedback about what schools might need in terms of support if they want to \u201cpilot\u201d the model during the 23-24 school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reminders about distribution parameters:<\/strong> This is the time of year when parent groups are asking you to send out notifications related to Grad Parties and other events that are being organized by such groups. Just a reminder to follow the district policy<\/a> related to distribution practices for “not for profit,” school affiliated groups (such as this parent group organizing your grad party.) Check out the School-Affiliated Organizations column on this document<\/a> for more specific guidance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Paul in HR: Spring\/Summer Recruiting<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some FAQs regarding the upcoming certified hiring season:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which internal candidates are we required to interview?<\/em>\u00a0The CBA guarantees interviews to internal candidates to anyone who has contract status, meaning they have been employed with us for three years or longer. Because of the fact that the contract letters have already been issued for next year, this includes those who are probationary three this year. If an employee has contract status and is currently in a temporary\u00a0position<\/em>, they are still owed an interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If so, how do find out which employees are in which category?\u00a0<\/em>Please click on\u00a0this link<\/a>\u00a0to see the contract status of all certified staff.\u00a0 If someone does not appear on your list, please email hr-certified@bend.k12.or.us for assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those that we are required to offer an interview to, does it need to be a full interview, or can it be a phone screen or a shortened version? Asking as it will be a struggle to arrange for teachers etc. to participate in a large number of full interviews.\u00a0You can run a tiered interview for any position you like, \u00a0beginning with a screening round where ALL internal applicants are asked the same questions and you then decide which candidates to invite to subsequent rounds of interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Scott in IT<\/strong> \u2013 Nearly all of our students will be turning in their iPads before the summer holiday.  It has been a few years since we last performed an end of year device \u201croll in\u201d.  Those of you who have experienced this process know that it is not a small task.  Thank you to each of you who have already met with Roy Fuller to learn about the process and work up a plan.  Our hope is that each of you will now make the effort to provide as much support as you are able to assist your school media specialist\/ librarians during the last week of school.  This is certainly one of those operations where many hands make light work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, we will be asking for any student hotspots to be turned in at that time as well. (details to follow)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Lora \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Principals and LLC Team \u2013 We have entered the season where every Friday and Monday are becoming days with\u00a0MANY<\/strong>\u00a0unfilled jobs! We all need to avoid scheduling interviews, team time, studios, etc. on these days. I am requesting that building leaders and LLC team members get approval from their level leader before scheduling any field trip\/PD\/\u201dschool business\u201d subs on Fridays and Mondays through the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
