This swap is currently on hold. A purchase is still anticipated, but the timeline has changed.&nbsp; The determining factors for this delay are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*Moving to the next generation of iPad involves investment in peripheral technology that is greater than anticipated &#8211; namely keyboard and headphone adaptors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*Logistical and instructional considerations that may impact school locations that actually need to swap devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this time, plan on your roll-in to continue as planned outside of any devices being retired. iPads will need to be stored like in years past by student last name, next year\u2019s teacher, etc. The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/gapps.bend.k12.or.us\/ipadroll-in\/spring-roll-in\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tier 1 website<\/a>&nbsp;will reflect these changes as soon as possible.

The exception is Title\u2013please do not buy any gift cards with Title funds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For FAN:&nbsp; Your FAN advocates cannot accept gift cards to be used for FAN families, so your school should not solicit gift cards for FAN.&nbsp; Your PTOs are separate entities and, though inadvisable, CAN do a gift card drive for FAN if they really want too.&nbsp; However, the PTO must maintain ownership of the cards and will ultimately have to donate the cards to the FAN Foundation instead of your advocate (&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/familyaccessnetwork.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/familyaccessnetwork.org\/<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Calendar:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1duCeKbWhbmpERwST9l6p_H9LS554P0AUiYByv58gIls\/edit?usp=sharing\">LINK<\/a>&nbsp;to the SIW Calendar and HS administrator work sessions and agendas for 23-24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the link to the<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1MyZDd61ri9at7OF8a-QbaA5jbwqYWZ_u\/edit?usp=sharing&amp;ouid=113868335263779891565&amp;rtpof=true&amp;sd=true\">&nbsp;Inservice Week Certified work calendar&nbsp;<\/a>for 24-25<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/15jRGVjFkwh8yIgmOqZ_6921pwq5-Z0kk\/view?usp=sharing\">SIW Calendar for 24-25<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>May 24: <\/strong> Notify students, staff and families of <strong>Val and Sal<\/strong> for the class of 2024!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>May 30:&nbsp;<\/strong>School Counselor Celebration in board room 1:00-2:30 <em>Come and support your counselors!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>June 1:<\/strong>&nbsp;Pride @ Drake Park (BLS Family Advisory hosting a booth)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>June 6:&nbsp;<\/strong>GSA in the Park: 10-1 at Troy Field\/Ed Center<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>June 6-12:<\/strong> Graduation week!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>June 11: <\/strong> HS Administrator Work Session 7:30-9:30 @ BTA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>June 13: <\/strong> 24-25 HS Professional Development Planning &#8211; send one building leader rep &#8211; if you are interested.  @ BTA 8:00-10:00am<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>June 15-16:&nbsp;<\/strong>Juneteenth Community Celebration in Drake Park<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>June 20:<\/strong>  BLAST end of the year luncheon 11:30-1:30 @ Ed Center<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>June 21: <\/strong> HS End of the Year Planning 8:00-10:00 @ La Pine High School<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to our new Deputy Superintendent, Lisa Birk!
