What a great time to be out and about connecting with families.  Welcoming them in at the door, attending a conference to let a family know how amazing their child is, offering support when students and families are struggling.  The key is to be a partner&#8211;coming alongside them and letting them know how much you care about their child reaching their fullest potential.  Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>First week of November<\/strong>:  The first week of November, the 4th-8th, will be full of on-boarding for Karen Rush.  That week, on Mon, Tue, Thur, or Fri, we will be stopping by your schools, to pop in to introduce her to you and your office staff (all pop ins will be morning times before lunch).  We won&#8217;t be having any sit down visits that week, just a brief overview of a few school names, faces, and locations, to get her excited for her next chapter here at Bend-La Pine Schools. I am going to attempt to group schools by feeders as best as I can, so we can glimpse at middle and high schools as we go by.  More to come next week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background\">Important Links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-fb46d505-38ce-454f-a147-5a49afcc1b97\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1WQT-mpqwBpdP8p_Au14qRMB0b9__idQ1HiKf35tXEvc\/edit?usp=sharing\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1WQT-mpqwBpdP8p_Au14qRMB0b9__idQ1HiKf35tXEvc\/edit?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SLGGs&#8212;plug and play for the year<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1ATjx8ye4X8UT_W_0Phna4Be7Y_s_CQed?usp=sharing\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1ATjx8ye4X8UT_W_0Phna4Be7Y_s_CQed?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Title 1 Compacts<\/a> to be done at conferences for all Title 1 Schools (now in a fillable pdf too)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/elementary-curriculum-instruction\/2024\/09\/11\/september-11th-update\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/elementary-curriculum-instruction\/2024\/09\/11\/september-11th-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">October 23rd\u00a0Elementary TLC Update<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/100110mVK1DUFQVSVYNlrNEWjyjvWXIi8AdegNhlJbZc\/edit?usp=sharing\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/100110mVK1DUFQVSVYNlrNEWjyjvWXIi8AdegNhlJbZc\/edit?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Topics of Interest\/Problem of Practice<\/a>&#8211;get advice from your colleagues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1jkmzFc06A0d0B286dEsvo9kk_ZRq--7i?usp=sharing\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1jkmzFc06A0d0B286dEsvo9kk_ZRq--7i?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TAG Folder of helpful things<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background\"> Notes from our Team:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From Kerry Morton, Math TOSA and Coach: <\/strong> <strong>Math Adoption Update!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Math Field Test Materials <\/span>&#8211;\u00a0October 29-October 31, each elementary school will have all three programs available in their buildings for families and teachers to view.\u00a0 Reach out to a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/139NiKhMgLJywLCw5WDxELVSJ5Pofx4FFEIk58ACacec\/edit?usp=sharing\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/139NiKhMgLJywLCw5WDxELVSJ5Pofx4FFEIk58ACacec\/edit?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Math Curriculum Review Team\u00a0membe<\/a>r if you have any questions about the programs:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BHCgnwPD7TU&amp;t=8s\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BHCgnwPD7TU&amp;t=8s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amplify Math with Desmos<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yKlH2HyM3SQ&amp;t=1s\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yKlH2HyM3SQ&amp;t=1s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">StemScopes Math<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3yybo_qO_RI&amp;t=1s\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3yybo_qO_RI&amp;t=1s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Experience Math<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From Jennifer Hauth regarding Wayfinder and EL Integration:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To see completion rates of lessons for teachers in Wayfinder, you need to set the core lessons as the featured content.

Starting next week, we will be implementing a trial of an &#8220;allow list&#8221; solution, which will enable students to access a curated set of videos. At present, nearly 1,000 YouTube videos necessary for the SchoolLinks curriculum have been added to this allow list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Why is this important?<\/span>  If this trial proves successful, we can explore expanding the allow list to include additional teacher-requested YouTube content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We understand that limiting access to non-essential YouTube content remains a high priority for our staff, and this allow list solution is designed to support that goal without diverting from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From Dave VanLoo in School Improvement:  <\/strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><u>Accessing OSAS test scores and ODE Individual Student Reports (ISRs) in Synerg<\/u> during conferences.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please share the following information with any staff who may need it, particularly teachers who may want to discuss OSAS during conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have been working for some time to enhance access to OSAS state test results across multiple Synergy applications.&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1VNyD68CR8I6Re9TWTpUDugQt55pOQcj6?usp=sharing\">Here<\/a>&nbsp;is a folder with brief instructions for staff, parents, and students to access OSAS state test scores in a variety of ways. All these groups can view and download the one-page ISRs that ODE creates each year. Teachers also can view lists of OSAS scores for their classes in TeacherVue. ISRs from spring 2024 testing have been loaded in English and Spanish ISRs should be there next week. Whether Spanish ISRs are loaded for a student is based on the \u2018resolved\u2019 language in Synergy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ODE requires schools to report OSAS results to parents annually. In the past this process has been time and resource intensive and involved downloading, printing, and sorting thousands of pieces of paper. With ISRs available in both ParentVue and StudentVue, users can now access OSAS results on-demand in Synergy. This will significantly reduce the number of printed copies that end up in trash or recycling. Schools still should plan to print an ISR for any parents who request it and may continue to print ISRs as makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During conferences, teachers who want to use ISRs now have the option to quickly pull them up in real time and display them on any screens that are available to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please reach out to Dave VanLoo with any questions about accessing OSAS results in Synergy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From our Amazing Bus Drivers and Transportation Department!  <\/strong>Please <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1Q-rOtRtdmz5ky-L7knSFpcRExz_I5ykI\/view?usp=sharing\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1Q-rOtRtdmz5ky-L7knSFpcRExz_I5ykI\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">share this flyer with your families<\/a>, (in your newsletters and\/or posted at conferences) as our transportation department is holding their very own trunk or treat for our students at the bus garage!
