Students switching between Comprehensive Distance Learning (CDL)  (i.e. hybrid) and Bend-La Pine Online (BLPSO): This information is likely most applicable to our counseling department, but we want the whole staff to be aware of BLS’s stance on students switching between CDL and BLPSO. See this document for more details.

PROTOCOLS:

• If you are coming to the building, you must use only the front entrance. On the shelf in the vestibule you will need to complete the protocol paperwork and adhere to all safety agreements listed. HDMS Building Contact Tracing Protocols – Staff to Staff 20/21. Protocol found here.

Middle School Teacher Standards of Practice can be found here. We will dig into these in depth during our staff welcoming back activities. Additionally, we encourage you to chat with Brad and Jane as they represented HDMS teachers on the district level team that created these standards.

The need for translation (and possibly interpretation) is going to kick into high gear here very soon. Translation requests should be requested at least 5 days before it is needed. Remember that communication with families at your school should be sent in both Spanish and English. Please spend a few moments reviewing this Language Access Plan – as well as sharing it again with your staff. (The contact for interpreter and translation requests this year is Kelly Marty.) Also, here is a copy of the latest ELL Dept. Newsletter.

PACKET PRINTING PROCEDURES:

• Teachers submit documents to print shop by Tuesday of each week.  Make sure teachers select the next day for Date Order Should Be Shipped.  All documents should arrive to our school by that Friday.  
• Teachers will need to email Stacy/Gina specifying which documents go to which class/grade.
• Stacy/Gina will have packets ready to be mailed by the following Tuesday. 
• Students should receive materials by mail on Thurs/Fri.
• Students will screen shot their paper packet and submit to teachers for grading

WebEx has some changes coming our way that we are hoping will be in effect Sept 1^st.  The biggest is the addition of breakout rooms.  The instructional tech team will be putting together a list of the changes along with tutorials for them. Stay tuned!

During distance learning, we will not be using our digital behavioral input/tracking form. Please send behavioral and/or social emotional concerns via email to all of the following: the student’s grade level counselor and the admin team (McCulloch, Kennedy, and Petersen). We will likely implement an updated behavioral form if/when we move to hybrid learning.
