Upcoming Curriculum Night<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In lieu of our typical in-person Curriculum Night, we will be hosting a WebEx Curriculum Night<\/a> event on Wednesday the 22nd from 6:30 – 7:30. We will review some basic Pacific Crest information, go through the class offerings here at Pacific Crest, and share some information on how you can stay more involved with your student’s learning this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PrintShop Reminder (add link)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an effort to reduce costs, we require that any time you need 35 or more copies, you use the district’s Print Shop<\/a> for paper materials. It costs roughly 15 cents per page on our school copier and roughly 4 cents per page via the Print Shop. A class set of 35 for 6 classes is a savings of $14.70 – and that’s just ONE job, so you can imagine how the savings adds up and helps us spend money on more pertinent materials. See Deb with any questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

School Cleaning
The Custodial team would like to share some insight into cleaning and the Pandemic:
\u2022 According to the CDC, \u201cThe fomite transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is low compared to direct contact, droplet transmission, or airborne transmission.\u201d As we understand this variant is airborne and surface contamination is a low priority.
The update School Cleaning Protocol is found at Bend-La Pine Schools COVID-19 Cleaning Protocols. The protocol also stated that, \u201cEach classroom in our schools will be provided with approved cleaning products by the custodial staff. \u201cWe will keep providing equipment whether its spray solution and micro fiber in each classroom or cleaning stations with flat mops, solution to dip in, spray bottles and rags, or having both. This will provide your staff with the products to disinfect if needed in their classroom.
\u2022 The custodial team will try their best with the resources available to go above their regular cleaning schedule and sanitize the high touch spots. We are putting more effort into your high traffic areas, bathrooms, hallways, commons etc.
\u2022 If there is district approved product or cleaning equipment your staff needs let your Head Custodian know<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friendly Reminders from Tami Nielsen<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yellow office call slips – When you receive a yellow office slip for a student in your class, please give it to them right away. Many students may not know what to do or where to go when they receive a slip, so please help them navigate this (e.g. “Attendance and Counseling is on the left, Main Office is on the right<\/em>.)”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Student-Lead Clubs?<\/span><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll be rolling out Club offerings and opportunities later this month, so here’s a primer: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Pacific Crest, we happily offer students the opportunity to take part in clubs on campus. The caveat to this it that all clubs here are student-created and -led. We want students to take the initiative to build their club from an idea to an actual club by finding an Advisor who can host and supervise club meetings, completing the Club application detailing<\/a> the purpose and role of the club, and following through to actually see the club go live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunchtime club meetings are permitted, but eating inside is not (except for inclement weather or smoke), so any lunchtime club meetings would have to be held outside or after students have eaten outside. See me with questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
