I hope your break started better than Gus’. This happened about 3:30 on the Friday before break. Liv reports that he is doing much better and now has his hard cast.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Any new information regarding a change in the delivery model?:<\/strong> In short, not really. I received the same information from Lora that you received over the break (at the same time that you received it). As you probably read, Governor Brown has made changes to the back to school guidelines for districts. These changes will affect when and how we return to school. I am attending a meeting early this week to learn more about these changes and any modifications to our return to school plans. I will communicate any changes as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouthTruth Survey: <\/strong>Beginning January 4th and continuing through January 22nd, all Bend-La Pine Schools’ staff members are invited to take the YouthTruth survey.  This is a national survey designed to explore the school experience. The survey focuses on culture, school safety, relationships, engagement, and professional development & support. Here are a couple of quotes from Youth Truth that explain why a survey is important. “Feedback from family and staff members can serve as an actionable, real\u2010time barometer of factors that influence student success.” “Making informed decisions requires hearing diverse perspectives from these integral groups of stakeholders.” The survey takes about 15 minutes, needs to be completed in one sitting, and is accessible from any device<\/span>. The link you need to access the survey is ytsurvey.org\/elkstaff21<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inclement Weather Guideline for 2020-21<\/strong>: The Bend-La Pine District will be able to respond differently to inclement weather events since we are in Comprehensive Distance Learning. If we need to close our buildings, we can still continue to teach and provide services. Click here to read the 2020-21 Guidelines<\/a>. Families will get this same information but in a format that is tailored specifically to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020-2021 Report Card Update (From TLC): <\/strong>In a year of so many uncertainties and continuous changes, it is more important than ever to focus on the most important instructional priorities at each grade level. Achieve the Core Partners<\/a> and Oregon Department of Education<\/a> have provided us with instructional priorities for the 20-21 school year in English Language Arts, mathematics, writing and speaking, and listening. This year our report card will reflect instructional priorities and standards for each grade level. The most important goal of the report card is to communicate to families\/guardians a child\u2019s progress toward grade-level standards. This year we will only communicate progress toward the most important priority standards for each grade level. The additional standards\/supplementary standards will be grayed out on the report card. In addition, a document has been created for each grade-level to assist teachers in identifying which priority standards we will report on, which standards we will still teach but will not report on and which data sources might be helpful for each priority standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
