Lisa Birk sent Outlook Calendar invites to monthly leadership team meetings for all BLAST staff at Perseverance Hall. Unless you hear otherwise, please attend those sessions. During the November meeting on the 13th, you will receive a copy of the book Thriving Leaders<\/em>, read a chapter and participate a small group discussion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For December and future months, I’ll do my best to share agendas through the Blog. If the agenda topics have no relevancy to your job responsibilities, then you may ask your direct supervisor (at least 48 hours prior to the meeting) to excuse you. Ultimately, I’ll need to answer to the superintendent for any BLAST Ops leader who is not in attendance at a given leadership meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Help us celebrate the veterans throughout Bend-La Pine Schools on Monday, November 11! We would love to say \u201cthank you for your service\u201d on social media and include faces throughout the district. If you have a veteran (or more than one) in your building or department, please ask them if they would like to be included in a social media \u201cthank you.\u201d If the answer is yes, take their photo and email it to becca.burda@bend.k12.or.us<\/a>, along with the staff member\u2019s name.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this transition, we are committed to making sure you have everything you need to manage time and leave accurately and confidently. Today, we\u2019re sharing next-step resources designed to support you with the new process, answer questions, and ensure clarity around roles and responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This shift to paper-based tracking for many staff is a temporary step that allows us to address technical issues directly and ensure accurate payroll for everyone. Our goal is to build a sustainable, efficient process that minimizes disruptions and supports each of you in your role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Resources by Role We will continue updating these resources and post then on the Staff Portal \u2014please check back regularly for the latest information.For any questions, please reach out to payroll@bend.k12.or.us<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you for your commitment to this change, which ultimately strengthens our organization. Your patience and input are key to making this transition successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sincerely, <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jessica Houser Many of our operational departments have not been included when schools are considering site additions\/renovations. We are working on a DRAFT site modification proposal form that schools would need to complete prior to engaging in fundraising, speaking with community partners, accepting grants or otherwise beginning a process that adds to\/modifies existing facilities or involves site modifications . As the DRAFT form moves toward finalization, I will share more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This has been postponed to later in the year<\/p>\n\n\n\n November 11: <\/strong>Veteran\u2019s Day\u2013No School<\/p>\n\n\n\n November 13<\/strong>: Leadership Meeting from 3:00 – 4:30 pm <\/p>\n\n\n\n December 11<\/strong>: Leadership Meeting from 3:00 – 4:30 pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Monthly Leadership Meetings For All BLAST Staff Lisa Birk sent Outlook Calendar invites to monthly leadership team meetings for all BLAST staff at Perseverance Hall.
