New Notes:
From Julie in Curriculum, Instruction, and Systems
If you are interested in implementing Mindful Music Moment (Deborah from Rosland shared at our last horizontal meeting) at your school, please let me know. Jackie Kreitzer from the Sunriver Music Festival has let us know that they have kindly donated this program to any school that would like to be a part of it.
The Math Curriculum Review team will field test three math programs next year. Here are lessons/units from each program and the dates the team will be out of the building. There is a possibility to add additional teachers. Because of substitutes, we can only add 11 more to attend the publisher training days. These teachers will not attend the studios or the debrief with the rest of the team. The MCRT is reaching out their team and Julie or Kerry will follow-up with you before asking them to commit.

From our Outdoor School Grant partner, OSU
As part of the Malheur Summer Institute, we are hosting an Integrating Outdoor School into the Classroom workshop. This is open to all educators, not those just within the Malheur ESD.
This will be from 9am-3pm on Wednesday, July 17th at EOU in La Grande. Stipends are available for eligible educators and there is a $60 subsidized credit through EOU available.
In this workshop, we will explore how we can build and maintain connections between outdoor school and the classroom, with the goal of maximizing the benefits – academic and social/emotional – for all students and teachers.
See the email below or our events page for more information and to register.
From Kelly Marty, Classified Specialist in HR:
The classified work calendars for the 2024-25 school year can be found here.
You will notice that there were changes to most of the EA work calendars. Some had an increase and others had a decrease in their workdays in 2024/25. The changes are due to aligning ES/MS school days and the need to consolidate multiple EA calendars. We will send out an email to the impacted EAs and notify them of the change. We will also send an email to all classified employees that will include links to the calendars on the employee portal.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
From Tammy and Lisa:
Cheers to the second to last BLOG post of the 23-24 school year!
As we start to wrap things up over the next couple of weeks, there are a few loose ends we want to make sure to tie up.
First, this next Wednesday, June 12, is a typical SIW, where kids have early release and teachers have a work day. That changed when the snow days were added. Tuesday, June 18, the last day with students is an early release day as well.
Next, your self-evaluations need to be done asap. We are working on evals this weekend and need them done to do our part. If you forget what sections to fill out (don’t do all 67) Here is an excerpt from an email sent a couple of weeks ago: When you go into UKG to do your self-reflections, please only put a rating in the first domain and standard for each domain. When you put down that rating, that score should be inclusive of the other standards in that domain (just like it has been in the past). Read each of the standards in the domain, but only give yourself one score and put it in the first domain and standard. You are still welcome to add comments for each domain if you wish.
For Title Schools—Your completed Title folder needs to be signed off by Tammy before you leave for the summer. This next year, we will be having an audit on this year, and we want to make sure everything is complete and ready to go. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Meryll or Tammy before June 25.
Our last Horizontal of the year will be from 2:00-3:30 (we are hoping to have it in the Amity Cafeteria, but we need to confirm with Andy first). Then we will follow up at Crux for a little celebration.
