NATIONAL SCHOOL NURSE DAY<\/strong> – MAY 10!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Just say no to the Office Group:<\/strong> The Office Group has been sending information to several high school staff (counselors, coaches and some teachers). Please know that we do not have an MOU with this organization so staff should not be allowing them access to our students. Ensure that your staff is not sending student information to this organization OR encouraging families to reach out to them. The Office Group has not been vetted by our district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Change in student start and end times for choice high schools:<\/strong> Thanks to Kim and her fabulous Transportation Team,<\/em> we will align the student start and end times for BTA@MHS and Realms HS with all high schools (and middle schools) beginning next school year (23-24).\u00a0 Kim’s team has reworked the bus routes to allow us to add instructional minutes to these schools and meet the state requirement! This is terrific news! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The staff work day will remain 8:00-4:00 with the drop of time between 8:15-8:30 pick up time at 3:53 (2:23 on Wednesdays) for BTA@MHS and Realms HS\/MS. This adjustment may mean that students from our choice high schools will arrive later for after school activities at their home schools. This has been impacting our students at LPHS and may be new for students who participate at Bend area schools. Thank you for working with your coaches and advisors to minimize the impact on these students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Jackie Mueller:<\/strong> May is the walk and bike challenge for staff. If your school has some active commuters via walking or biking, this is a great way to get involved and eventually get rewards. Please share with staff so we can the carbon offsets through the month of May.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    From Dave: Oregon SEED Survey Information<\/u><\/strong>: Here is a brief update on Oregon\u2019s Student Educational Equity Development (SEED) survey. As in previous years, SEED remains optional for 3rd<\/sup>-12th<\/sup>\u00a0grade students, it takes about 15 minutes, and is delivered through the OSAS secure testing browser with the same menu of accessibility supports. SEED contains four domains: (1) Access to Learning Resources, (2) Opportunity to Learn, (3) Self-Efficacy Beliefs, and (4) Sense of Belonging. \u00a0Two of these domains are content specific; that is, items measuring Opportunity to Learn and Self-Efficacy Beliefs are written to align with key academic expectations. Content areas are sampled by grade as follows:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2022 Reading\/Language Arts Grades 3, 6, and 9 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2022 Mathematics Grades 4, 7, and 10 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2022 Science Grades 5, 8, and 11 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2022 Native American Culture\/History (OTL only) Grades 4-11<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Additional information to help you determine whether your school (or even specific grade levels) might participate, including all survey questions, is available here https:\/\/www.oregon.gov\/ode\/educator-resources\/assessment\/Pages\/Student_Educational_Equity_Development_Survey.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
