Onboarding New Inclusion EAs:
This is just a gentle reminder that we have a required training component that all new inclusion EAs must take prior to working with students. The training checklist can be found HERE or you can go to the Student services resource site to find all the training details. Ideally this would all occur on their first day on the job. Also, remember that you can get a 4 hour sub on their first day so you can provide all of your training parts.

The Staffing Needs Assessment form has become one form instead of two.
Please use this new form:
https://sites.google.com/bend.k12.or.us/student-services-resource-site/policies-and-procedures/staffing-needs
Please delete the 2 outdated forms if you have them saved on your desktop or in a folder.
The form should be filled out one time a year, with the student’s IEP, for those who would receive 4 points or higher.
Reach out to April Deihl if you have any questions.
Thank you

This ESY Timeline document shows this school year’s dates/times of ESY as well as when to make your decisions, turn in paperwork, etc.
(Watch for future ESY forms in the March blog).
NOTE: We will NOT be attached to the TLC Summer Sessions this year, so we will once again be holding it independently in July/Aug.

Hi all,
I got several emails with confusion about what December Child count is and why we do it, so I wanted to provide a little more information.
December Child count has three purposes:
- Federal:
- we report to the U.S. Department of Education and the Oregon Department of Education
- Fiscal:
- determines the number of students who can generate State School funds for Special Education
- we receive funding for up to 11% of our total school population
- Statistical:
- data is used in the Special Education Report card and in SPR&I
