When a child is chronically absent, not only do they miss out on the daily learning they need to succeed, but schools aren\u2019t able to provide services, support, or intervention.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe know that consistent attendance is key to student success.

Please see the bottom of your paystub for correct leave balances. We have ongoing tech work occurring in UKG. As a result you may see inaccurate schedules, workdays, etc. please still submit your timesheet, you will be paid accurate contract pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From Transportation:  <\/strong>  Safety is of the utmost importance for our transportation department and we need your help with a safety issue that is popping up at a number of places.  Please do not release students before 2:15.  We schedule our buses to get to the schools a few minutes before the bell rings so they can line up without students running around. We have had reports from drivers that there are already students out and running around by the time they get there, which makes our drivers a little nervous as you can imagine.  Thank you for your help with this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, we need some help in finding a way to make kindergarten students more &#8220;visible&#8221; to our drivers, especially when there is a substitute driver.  Is there a way you can help kindergarten students stand out, (put them in front of the lines for example)?  We are in the process of creating tags for K student\u2019s back packs; red tags for kinders that need an adult present to get off, and green tag for kinders that don\u2019t. That will eventually help, but for now, it is tricky and we worry about missing a kiddo. Anything you can do to help with this is appreciated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From Human Resources:  Mostly pertains to secondary, but important to know<\/strong> State law prohibits Certified employees from relinquishing their duty-free lunch period to take on directed duties in exchange for pay. In other words, employees cannot take on a duty that can only be performed during their lunch period even where voluntary and paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, any Certified staff member currently employed as a Lunch Detention Supervisor cannot continue in that role. We understand this may impact your current lunch supervision schedules. Katie and Stephen have already worked with some buildings to construct supervision schedules that do not violate this statute, so please reach out to them for support in adjusting current supervision plans as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certified staff may elect to perform duties during their lunch hour so long as those duties could be performed at another time. For example, lunch clubs are still permitted to continue, including those with Advisors compensated through an Extra Duty stipend. Any such club meetings, though, cannot be mandated to take place during lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Also from HR:  <\/strong>&nbsp;It has come to our attention that some of you have experienced issues with completing your required courses on the SafeSchools platform. Specifically, some users have successfully completed modules and received a certificate of completion, but these completions are not being recognized in the Schoox system, which informs UKG of your status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the exact cause of this issue is still being investigated, we wanted to share some tips that may help you avoid or mitigate these problems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use a Computer: Please avoid completing courses on your phone. Using a desktop or laptop computer can help ensure the platform functions correctly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Browser Choice: We recommend using&nbsp;Chrome  when accessing SafeSchools. Other browsers may not be fully compatible with the platform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Course Interaction: Avoid pausing or skipping forward in videos. Engage fully with each module and ensure you answer any questions that appear promptly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save Completion Certificates: After finishing a course, please save or screenshot your completion certificate. This will serve as proof of completion if the system does not update automatically.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If your trainings do not register as completed:&nbsp;complete all of your safe school trainings and email all of the certificates in one email to&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:hr-tech@bend.k12.or.us\">hr-tech@bend.k12.or.us<\/a>&nbsp;letting us know that they didn\u2019t complete. We will credit your courses on our end.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We understand the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve the issue. If you encounter any problems, please contact&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:hr-tech@bend.hr.or.us\">hr-tech@bend.hr.or.us<\/a>&nbsp;for further assistance.
