Onboarding New Inclusion EAs:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

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<\/a> 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. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

The Staffing Needs Assessment form has become one form instead of two.

Please use this new form: <\/strong>
https:\/\/sites.google.com\/bend.k12.or.us\/student-services-resource-site\/policies-and-procedures\/staffing-needs<\/a><\/p>\n

Please delete the 2 outdated forms if you have them saved on your desktop or in a folder.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The form should be filled out one time a year, with the student’s IEP, for those who would receive 4 points or higher.<\/p>\n

Reach out to April Deihl<\/strong> if you have any questions.<\/p>\n

Thank you<\/h3>\n\n\n

Hi all,<\/h3>\n

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.<\/h3>\n
