From Jennifer in Student Wellbeing
Please see below for an opportunity here in Bend for district administrators that are helping to lead this work. Learn how to strengthen our Wayfinder implementation to help meet our strategic initiatives. I will be there and I think it would be great to have some of you join, especially those of you that have not attended any Wayfinder trainings in the past.
From Patrick Cook-Deegan – CEO and Founder of Wayfinder:
I’d like to personally invite you to join us for the Oregon Community Workshop on Friday, April 17 at Tetherow Resort in Bend.
This will be a focused, working session with district leaders from across Oregon on how schools are implementing Wayfinder to:
- Meet Oregon’s mandated TSEL standards
- Align with SB3 requirements
- Strengthen instruction for the Oregon Health Education Standards
More than 115 Oregon districts are already bringing this work to life with us. During the workshop, we’ll share concrete implementation strategies, lessons learned, and practical tools you can take back to your district or school site immediately.
Event Details
8:30 AM – 2:30 PM (breakfast and lunch provided)
Tetherow Resort
61240 Skyline Ranch Rd
Bend, OR 97702
This will be interactive and collaborative—not a sit-and-get session. You’ll experience Wayfinder activities firsthand and connect with peers navigating similar priorities.

Where in the World?
Congratulations to to Kristy Knoll who guessed the image from last week!
The image is of Crater Lake National Park. This national park is located in the southern part of Oregon and is made of a gigantic crater. If you haven’t made the time to see it, it is worth a visit!
Guess this location by Monday morning and we will bring you a school appropriate beverage of choice! Bonus points for adding its historical significance.
