To Do
From Triz in Human Resources:
Reminder: DUE tomorrow, October 24: Earlier this week, you were sent a list of your PROB 2 staff. By Friday, review your Probationary 2 staff list and reach out to Triz if you have any performance concerns. Ensure that any performance concerns are being addressed and that you’ve identified anyone who may be a potential non-renewal. With the passage of HB 2900—effective January 1, 2026—we must also evaluate any Probationary 2 staff who may have already achieved contract status in another Oregon district. These individuals should be considered like a Probationary 3.
If you have staff on the list with performance issues, please reach out so we can discuss next steps, and I can provide support.

From Dave Van Loo:
Be ready to show ISR’s in Synergy or print student reports when requested: ODE requires schools to report OSAS results to parents annually. Individual student reports (ISR) with ELA, Math, and Science scores from spring 2025 testing have been loaded into Synergy. Here is a folder with brief instructions for staff, parents, and students to access OSAS state test scores in a variety of ways in Synergy.
All users can view and download the one-page ISR that ODE creates each year. Teachers also can view lists of prior year OSAS scores for their classes in TeacherVue. Whether Spanish ISRs are loaded for a student is based on the ‘resolved’ language in Synergy. Schools should be prepared to print an ISR for any parent who requests it and may continue to print ISRs as makes sense. Teachers who want to use ISRs at conferences can quickly pull them up in real time and display them on any screens that are available to them.

HS END Session on Wednesday:
Here is the plan for administrator assignments for the END sessions this year. Just a reminder that this is a HS Only END session because K-8 is involved in parent conferences. Here is the information about the END sessions next week as well as admin assignments and HERE is the attendance QR code. Please copy and ask teachers to check in.
From Departments
From Ryan in Human Resources:
To support consistency across schools and ensure appropriate use of substitute coverage, guidelines outlining expectations by role classification for the 2025–26 school year have been developed.
These guidelines can be accessed here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X5QnwsfOyZIeS2UlkhPjl3EbIDWMXSPvkg_mPJUYIgA/edit?usp=sharing
Please review and share with office staff and others responsible for approving or entering substitute requests.
These guidelines reinforce responsible staffing decisions while maintaining operational continuity and student support.

From Gabe Pagano, Director of Activities and Athletics:
Here is the agenda for the week. Please remember, you can forward this to any coach, program, group of coaches, or folks you feel might benefit from the information in the Weekly Agenda. I am doing my best to title information blocks for high school or middle school to save you time in reading or sending out.

Who in the World
Congrats to Heather Bailey, Principal at HDMS, for correctly guessing Notre Dame, Paris France! The decorative demon was created by architect Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc, who was responsible for the cathedral’s restoration during the 19th century. Contrary to popular belief, Le Stryge is technically a grotesque and not a gargoyle, as it does not act as a waterspout.
We’re back with Who in the World. Check out this week’s image below. Any admin who correctly identifies this image by Monday morning will be entered in a drawing for coffee/tea or morning beverage of choice to be delivered by Katie or Stephen. Note: This contest will be limited to MS and HS admin.
