COVID-19 Guidance
Here a link with our districts guidance after reviewing the direction from ODE.
ICCL Connections
Here is the link to the ICCL liaison teams. If you have a celebration, resources other staff may find useful, and/or questions/next steps that you’d like to surface, please email your point person directly. In addition to the daily admin office hours at 3pm, the ICCL point people will hold ICCL office hours for drop-in on Friday, 4/10 and Thursday, 4/16 from 2:00-3:00pm. Nole’s WebEx link will be how you can join the meeting. This is completely optional. This is simply an opportunity for us to offer our support!
Student Tracking
As a reminder, we’ve created a tracking form to capture students in need of internet, clothing, food, etc. You may check the HDMS Remote Learning Student Tracking document. Skip to the second tab which is the list of students that we are working with.
Special thanks to Clarissa, Jane, Liz and Jamie for their work with these families!
If you become aware of a need:
- Check to see the tracking form to see if we are already connected to the family
- Email Wendy, Paul, Nole and Jamie the student and the specific need
- Paul will enter the information into the tracking sheet initially
- Jamie, Liz or another appropriate staff member will work with family to assist them and then enter the status in the tracking form
Non Engaged Students
VERY IMPORTANT: We’ve been asked to track any student whom we’ve had no contact with since April 1.
If a student has not engaged in your distance learning activities despite you reaching out to them via email or a phone call, we need you to fill out the appropriate spot on this google spreadsheet before Wednesday at noon. Here is quick instructional video of how to input data on the spreadsheet.
We will welfare check-in with the student/family to make sure they are okay.
Quarter 3 & 4
Because there will no Spring parent-teacher conferences, Quarter 3 will be extended to Friday, April 10th. Qtr 4 will start on Monday, April 13. This announcement has been posted in google classroom for all students.
Please grade students in Quarter 3 with either a Pass or No Grade (NG).
Teachers can view their fourth quarter class lists in Synergy and students can view them (if applicable) in studentVUE.
No Internet – Hard Copy Packets
Teachers, if a student doesn’t have internet, please email Wendy/Paul copies of documents that you’d like photocopied by Tuesday at noon.
We will have the school open Wednesdays from 8am-2pm where students/families can enter the secure vestibule to claim the envelope. Any unclaimed envelopes will be mailed via USPS on Thursday.
Print Shop staff is monitoring orders remotely and staff will come in and continue to print them as needed. Orders are delivered to sites as well as mail through our normal distribution system. If staff have any questions on particular print shop orders they can email Brian @ [email protected]
Admin Office Hour Notes

We will be keeping a weekly “live” document with notes of the celebrations and Q & As that were shared out during the admin office hour sessions.
- 3/31-4/3 Admin WebEx office hours notes found here
- 4/6-4/10 Admin WebEx office hours notes found here
- This document will be updated throughout the week
WebEx Resources
I wanted to follow-up with you regarding a couple of questions that were asked about last week:
1) Are there Webex student guidelines?
Yes. They can be found on this page, and they will be shared with you as part of the BLS Guidelines that you’ll receive later this afternoon. (They’ll be in folder #7 – Student Connectivity).
2) Are there any instructions for temporarily “expelling” a student from a Webex?
Yes. This is in a few spots. Here are written instructions, here is a video, and here is a short video (54 sec).
Here are 2 short tutorials. One is about how to record and access your recordings in WebEx and the other one demonstrates how you can airplay your iPad onto your laptop during a WebEx.
Email Headings
Reminder: When sending an email to family/student, please HDMS and course title (e.g. ELA 7, Math 8) in the subject line.
Child Abuse Reporting
There has been some media coverage around the potential for abuse of youth to increase during this time of stay at home isolation. Because students are not coming to school, the number of referrals for abuse has already seen a large drop in Deschutes County. Reminder all staff are still mandatory reporters. Use this link to the reporting form in the Portal; as always, feel free reach out to the student’s grade level counselor and/or Wendy/Paul if you need support in this area.
SEL Professional Development
There is PD available online (occurring on April 14) that focuses on how schools might make SEL work at sites.
HDMS Remote Learning Resources
If you have remote learning suggestions, resources, and/or links that you think other HDMS staff would find useful, please consider adding them to this document. The goal of this is to provide an on-going list in one location that staff can refer back to while reducing the number of all staff emails.
