Week of September 7, 2015


September 4th, 2015

Hi all,

My main method of communication to staff will continue to be through the Diarío this year.  Each Sunday I will publish a post about the week. There will be resource links of interest, district news, and  a 14 day calendar to keep you ahead of things a bit. For new staff and as a reminder to Camino del Río veterans, it’s my intent with these announcements to share informational and business items here rather than taking up time at staff meetings. It’s also my hope to avoid cluttering up your inboxes by sending emails throughout the week and to instead just send just one informational email a week to staff. Typically, I send these out on Sundays and my hope is for staff read them by Tuesday evening.

Here is the Final Master Schedule:

Note:  The Music schedule occurs 2X per week. PE is on a separate schedule for Fall. Anywhere on this schedule it says PE is after February 1, 2016.

Here is the Fall PE Schedule:

Calendar Information:

We use Zimbra as our main calendaring system.

These are the view only versions of the system. You can also add to the Zimbra calendar. Most of last year’s staff are already on the editable version. Please add events to the Zimbra calendar like field trips so more staff know what is happening and the office is well informed.

If you want to know what I am up to you can always click on this:

Parking Lot Changes Information:

PARKING LOT DROP OFF

I will be sendoug out a separate dismissal email out this evening. The email will include pick up and dismissal routines, teachers duties, etc.

 

A little about Katie Hynes Petty, our new Learning Center Teacher:

Katie Hynes-Petty is a graduate of the U of O and has been a special education teacher for 24 years, teaching at all levels.  She has a teenage son and a daughter who recently graduated from the U of O.   She enjoys gardening, playing in the outdoors and reading.   Ask her about when she was in a half-time show for a Duck home game.

Her schedule is from:

Mon: 8-4
T, Th, Fri: 8:15-12:15

IEPs will be scheduled on Mondays as much as possible.  She will flex that day and stay longer on another day as necessary.

District Mandatory Policy Review for all Staff -Here’s a link to this year’s District Back-to-School Memo, which covers a variety of district rules, policies and guidelines. All staff must review the memo and sign & return the check list acknowledgment form to Edna no later than Monday, September 28th. I’ll place hard copies of the acknowledgement form in staff mailboxes this Friday. I will review some of the changes in meetings but I encourage you to block out some of your workday to review these policies during the pre-service week.

Camino del Río Staff Handbook Review – Speaking of policy review items, attached is the updated Camino del Río Handbook for 2015-2016. For people new to Camino del Rio, this handbook should answer most any questions you have about Howard policies and procedures. Let me know if you have any questions and please sign & return the acknowledgement form, which I’ll also put hard copies of in mailbox, to Edna by Friday, September 25th, stating that you have read and understand the contents of the handbook.

Counselor Schedule – Our extraordinary counselor, Jennifer Harris, will be keeping the same schedule as last year, which is as follows:

Monday: River Road
Tuesday: River Road 8-12, Howard 12-4
Wednesday: River Road 8-11, Howard 11-2 (RR 2ish for meetings)
Thursday: Howard 7:30-11:30 River Road 11:30-4
Friday: Howard

Smarter Balanced Score Information – If any of you have been looking at Smarter Balanced scores from last spring, here are a few things to know. Individual scores are under review until the end of August. Also, the scores are “embargoed” from parents and students until September 17th, so DO NOT share scores with anyone outside of school staff. Schools are also advised to not make any major changes based on test results (i.e. suddenly focusing more on looking for evidence or focusing on open response) because the test itself may be undergoing changes. Schools are instead encouraged to look more overall at how they are doing. We will be reviewing some of this data in more detail in the upcoming week for further discussion.

TSS  Tech Support Schedule – Peggy will again be in the building five days a week in the morning, 2:00-4:00. She also works at Kelly and Howard quite a bit. Her Kelly time has some flex time between Howard and Kelly, so she is on-call during that time if anything urgent comes up over here.  This year, Howard has 11 COWS! If you need Peggy during her other building time, just send her a ticket through 4jdesktop@4j.lane.edu and she will be be able to come back over to Camino del Río. Also remember that you can always call the tech help line at (541) 790-7777. If Peggy is sick for some reason, downtown will even send someone out from another area to give you support if necessary.

Library Updates, Library Staffing and Tech Permissions – One, the district is converting all library browser from the Via library circulation systems to a new one called Destiny that’s made by Follett and is web based. Allison Connor has been trained on the new system and will share information on the new system with  our staff at a later date. I will be assigning an EA some library time to minimally maintain the library. Currently, we do not have a volunteer to support the library during the school day. Lastly, here is a reminder to use the Technology Permission Form if you are planning to have student use Google Apps, Edmodo or district email, although I don’t think anyone was using these last year.

Write In Readers – Journeys Intervention Materials – The Instruction Department sent out “Write in Readers” to schools for grades 1-5. These are intervention materials for students performing below the 30%. They have half the vocabulary, shorter chunks of text, and follow the theme of the main selection, but not the exact same story. Our fall benchmark numbers from the last year were used to determine a minimum of the number of students at some and high risk in reading at grades K-5. These were allocated by students per grade, not teachers. These materials were delivered to classroom teachers for use with students performing below the 30%. However, grade levels can also decide that these materials would be better used with students in Title 1 or SPED. Ed Support Services is currently auditing all SPED materials to ensure that IEP Goals are aligned to CCSS and the materials available to LC teachers will properly support them.

River Road Construction Update – If you’d like to know where River Road is at in their construction process, you can subscribe to updates by following this link. Attached is the latest update which has information about a potential purchase of some adjoining property that 4J has been trying to negotiate a purchase of for a number of years since the River Road property is so small.

Other Construction Updates- The gym is making steady progress. Please do not enter the gym until further notice. It is a construction zone.  There are dangers such as odors, and dust that may be harmful to you.

How To Tackle Digital Citizenship During The First 5 Days Of School – Digital citizenship is not a one time discussion. It is an ongoing process that needs to be taught to all grade levels. The problem is that things are changing so rapidly that it is difficult for everyone to keep up to date with the trends. Everyone has to be educated and develop an understanding of the role digital citizenship plays in our everyday lives. There is so much that goes into being a digital citizen; from taking photos of others to knowing when it is appropriate to share something online. See this short article for more details.

Gus Out to Buildings – Our new superintendent is planning to visit all schools this year and is scheduled to visit Camino del Río the morning of December 15. Gus is visiting one or two schools each week for a half-day. He also said he doesn’t need to attend a staff meeting, but would rather walk around on his own after meeting with principals for a quick check in and then meet with the principal again at the end for a follow-up.

15/16 4J Transportation Trip Rates – Attached are the 2015-2016 4J Transportation Trip Rates. After 6 years of zero rate increases, there will be a 7-9% increase this year to offset higher driver, fuel and maintenance costs. In addition, for schools utilizing activity vans, Transportation will be moving to a per-mile fee to help capture fuel and maintenance costs associated with their use.

District Admin Updates – There were a few district admin changes and movement over the summer. Susan Penrod, principal at Spring Creek, accepted a new position in the Instruction Department as K-12 Curriculum Administrator: English Language Arts. The position is the ELA equivalent of Maddy Ahearn’s Math position downtown. Taking Susan’s place at Spring Creek as principal is Raquel Gwynn, who many of you may know as a Staff Development Specialist (SDS) and the District BEST Coordinator. Raquel’s District BEST Coordinator position has yet to be filled. Over at ESS, Leila Schuck is the new Elementary ESS administrator, taking over for Amy Tidwell who’s now the Director of SPED in Bethel. Leila was most recently a SPED Consultant and a SPED teacher at Willagilespie. Cydney Vandercar is continuing on this year as the interim Director of HR. No one has been hired to fill her previous HR position.

This week’s announcements

• Article of the Week –  After reflecting on the past week, I recalled an important document which I believe all educators should read read. “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” , is an open letter written by Dr. Martin Luther King which still holds true when we are seeking social justice and freedom for the students we educate.  I have included the link to the scanned original document which Dr. King sent from Birmingham to an editor.  The document is found on the The Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute Website.  This is a highly recommended space to find resources on Dr. King that are authentic and helpful for teaching.

• Equity Meeting This Week – This upcoming Friday the 23rd we will have another equity meeting in the morning in the conference room. All who are interested are invited. The idea is to meet and discuss the Taking It Up Seminar and how it has effected current staff. We will also discuss further action if we have time and set a future date to talk again. I would like to thank all those who have attended TIU and or CFEE this year. It really feels like we have a critical mass to support our students and staff on issues of racial identity and discrimination.  Thank you all for your dedication to this very important topic in education.

• Spanish Spelling Bee Competition in April – Here is an opportunity I do not want to pass up!  This Spring there will be a Spelling Bee up in Forest Grove. Perla Rodríguez, principal extraordinaire, is the organizer. This is a great opportunity for us to show Eugene and Oregon how well our students know Spanish and to excite our students that the Spanish language is a special talent and skill.  A professor friend of mine named David Wacks also shares the enthusiasm for Spanish language.  He teaches medieval Spanish and Sephardic literature at University of Oregon.  David has helped us enlist a university student who would like to help us coach some 4th and 5th graders to go to the Spanish Spelling Bee!  Hannah Golden is the student’s name.  She will be able to meet with the students after school once a week to practice for the competition.  I am happy to cover the registration costs. Now all we need are the participants!  4th and 5th grade teachers, can I count on you to enlist your students in this competition?

• App Purchases and iPads are coming soon to 4th Grade and beyond – This week Edna and Misty Forsman will be working on imaging the incoming iPads. Edna will be assisting Misty in the iPad volume purchasing and will get the proper licenses for a variety of effective creation and productivity apps. The image will be prepared downtown and delivered sometime in early February. Our tech plan was approved.  This means we qualified to receive 35 X 2 iPads on COWS that will be in the building before February 9th.  These iPads will be used mainly in 4th grade. The surplus iPads will be available to pilot using in 1st grade. Erin S. and Alexis will experiment with using the iPads in creative ways and also to see how effective our web based programs such as RAZ Kids & Maravillas function on the iPad.  This means you should have greater access to the lab and the MacBook Airs as they become freed up by 4th grade for more widespread use. I am hoping to get approval on further purchases this year of iPads for use in another grade. Stay tuned on that one.

• Classroom design meeting debrief – The classroom design meeting was frustrating yet predictable.  There were two things that teachers walked away with unhappy about.  There will be cubbies inside the classroom and there will remain to be full windows into the commons.  On a good note, the architects were able to increase the amount of tack-able space for the classrooms and we will have more than any new building in the district.  We chose a classroom layout that included a combination of carpet and concrete flooring.  We also spent time looking at furniture configurations to get a feel for how the layouts of classroom would work.

• New Director of Technology – Steve Menachemson is the new Director of Technology and will begin on Feb. 2nd. Steve has been with Symantec since 2008, and for the last three years has worked as a Senior Manager with Global Support Delivery. Before working with Symantec Steve worked eight years as the Vice President for TechNet Group (consulting services) in Santa Monica, California. Steve also worked two years as a project manager and senior consultant for an firm that provided hardware and software sales and technical support as well as project management services to the Santa Monica community (1998-2000). Steve will also be bringing global perspective to 4J. He began his career in Cape Town, South Africa as a project manager and senior support engineer before being advanced to a regional manager for the same company in Windhoek, Namibia.

• ELL Position Filled – I am happy to announce that we have selected our replacement for Sarah Lauer. James Longoria will take over the 6 hour ELL position. This will begin immediately on Tuesday.  We will need to begin to look for a replacement for the 4 hour title position very soon. I will be working with Karen Hardin to post the 4 hour title position in the coming week.

Have a nice 4 day week next week.

Joel

Happy Friday

Hi all,

I had a great three day weekend and I hope you did too. I have not had a chance to get all of our PD materials listed in the tabs above yet, but will work on this during the day tomorrow. You can expect all the materials from PD sessions to be up with the exception of some of the Caring for Kid’s Planning materials. I have those in paper in case you missed it. Erin Gaston will probably get those to me in electronic form by the end of the week. I hope you all get settled in nicely to your routines. Enjoy getting to know your students. I am especially excited to get to know them this fall. In fact, I haven’t been this excited for the start of school since well, maybe 1984 when I started 5th grade.

I changed my blog address this week to remove the Awbrey Park reference. We are now Camino staff!  Please bookmark this new address.

Here are some items of note for the week:

Open House Procedures: Staff  should  greet families in your classrooms from 2:45 to 3:45. I will come on the PA to thank families for their visit at 2:40 and encourage them to go home. Please collect fees in your classroom of $ 25.  This will help reduce the lines in the cafeteria for paying fees. Provide a receipt for them and keep track on a roll sheet. Edna will get these to you tomorrow before the open house.  If families choose to, they can pay in the cafeteria. Families can pay for more than one child at once in your room IF you keep track of all payments.  Edna, Yasmin, and any licensed specialists (Sarah, Karen, Bryan, Aline) available are encouraged to support fee payment and bus information distribution in the cafeteria.

• Supervision First Week of School – All available staff should help supervise in the morning out front and in the hallway areas. Students and buses generally start arriving at 7:50. Staff should also help out at dismissal in the bus area and by the front of the building near the sign. Even if you are not on the supervision list, please make yourself very visible on the first few days. It makes a big difference to relieve all those new school jitters and it’s just helpful.

• Staffing Updates – PE Position to be interviewed this week.  We have not hired a Temporary PE position yet due to a lack of applicants.  Still, just this weekend, a couple new applicants were referred in NEOGOV. Allan Chinn and my self will be reviewing these applicants and most likely doing interviews within a week. In the meantime, there will a a guest PE teacher to begin the PE schedule. The first day for PE is Thursday and a PE teacher should be here. Music also begins this week with David Adee.

Due to a large kinder class (85 at last count), I am lobbying the district to increase staffing for our kinder EA’s. I will keep you all up to date on how we are doing with that and if we get more hours to support kinder soon.

• PBIS Focus: Virtudes de Ganas PRIDE Focus is Respect– The September PBIS monthly focus is a great connection to your CFK Morning Meetings. Once you get beyond names and greetings, consider using respect as a theme for the month of September/October for conversation.

• Classroom Newsletters – Please forward me electronic copies of classroom newsletters (electronic version preferred) when teachers send/email them home to families. This helps me keep up to date on what’s happening (or going to happen) in classes, and also lets me know details of any class activities that I might be able to get the local media to come out and cover. I love promoting our school!

• District Mandatory Policy Review for all StaffAttached and linked here is the District Back-to-School Memo, which ALL staff must review and sign & return the acknowledgement form to Edna no later than Friday, September 26th.

• Camino del Río Staff Handbook ReviewAttached is the updated Staff Handbook for 2014-2015. All staff must review the handbook and sign & return the  acknowledgement form  to Edna by Friday, September 26th.

• Principal Visits to Classrooms to Read and Greet – I’d like to again visit every classroom sometime during the first couple weeks of school to greet students. I’ll read a favorite story to your class and chat with the kids a bit. Teachers, please let me know a good 15-20 minute block of time to come and visit in Spanish or English. Thank you!

• TAG Identified Students – Jennifer and I will be reviewing any TAG identified students in the next week.  We will send you an email to ensure you are aware of the student needs. We may be meeting to revise TAG Plans as needed.

• Information Supplied for Guest Teachers – In this email from HR is a list of suggested information/items that teachers should consider when preparing lesson plans for Guest Teachers. With the goal being seamless transition and a successful day when our permanent staff are out, it is essential that our Guest Teachers receive the best information possible.

• 4J Admin Updates – Maddie Ahearn is the new Math Curriculum Administrator for the 2014/15 school year. Maddie was previously a math teacher leader in 4J, working at North Eugene and Roosevelt. I was on the interview team that helped hire Maddie into 4j  in 2010 and am happy to see her take on such an important role in our district. Before coming to Eugene 4J in 2010, she worked in Baltimore Maryland as a math instructional coach and teacher. Randi Bowers-Payne was just hired for the Risk Manager Administrator position. In Lansing, Michigan, Randi acted as the entire Human Resource department for a Regional Education Service Agency.

• Dept. of Ed. projects public schools will be ‘majority-minority’ this fall – If we needed an additional reason to focus on issues of race and equity, a milestone is expected to be reached this fall when minorities outnumber whites among the nation’s public school students for the first time, U.S. Department of Education projections show. This is due largely to fast growth in the number of Hispanic and Asian school-age children born in the U.S., according to a Pew Research Center analysis of Census Bureau data.

 

That’s all for now. Have a great week.

Joel

Welcome Back to School 2014-2015


August 17th, 2014

August 15, 2014

 

Dear Camino del Río Staff,http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/originals/5d/d3/5d/5dd35d9da76c5bb19b5e4816c5cb6860.jpg

I hope you all are enjoying the great weather and time away from work. Remember, we work REALLY hard and you need to be playing just as hard to re-energize yourselves. I look forward to hearing all the adventure and the relaxation stories when you return.

 

I am really excited about our back to school retreat this year on August 25th. I have met with experts in the field of two-way immersion over the summer and we have some great professional development planned for all. The focus of our day will be to begin to build our Caring School Community. Enclosed with this letter are the details that will help in your planning. As is typical, we didn’t get through summer without staffing changes. As many of you know, we had many openings to fill.

 

 

Erin Bucklew will be returning to teach kindergarten in AM and PM sessions. She is working hard to plan our kinder parent orientation on August 28th.

Tracy Fleming will be our new second grade teacher. Tracy comes from California and has an amazing approach with young children and has been involved in bilingual education since the 80’s!

Erin Reckers will be moving to third grade full time to work with Erin Piper. We are happy to have her full time.

Jamie Jones will be a new teacher on the 5th grade team. Jamie brings more than a decade of dual language program experience to our school from Corvallis.

Jill Torres is making the jump across the river from Buena Vista to El Camino del Río. We are very excited to have her join our 5th team and will appreciate her leadership in MECHA NEHS & GANAS.

Nancy Schaal-McHarry will be returning as our full time ELD teacher this year. We are also happy to have her return to support our students with their English Language Development and more.

Jessica Zapata will be working as our BEST Coordinator after school. Jessica is very involved in several organizations in Eugene/Springfield including Downtown Languages and her own organization, Eugene Arte Latino.

Renee Stinson will be our new Food Service Coordinator. Renee is very excited to join us and comes from Howard Elementary.

Peggy Young-Vega, is our new TSS3 Technology Support Specialist. She brings wonderful skills in web design, troubleshooting, and brings a strong education perspective since she is also a licensed teacher.

Kathy Larson will be our new ODE Priority Coach. Kathy is an expert in Dual Language Instruction that worked as an interim director of bilingual education in Woodburn.

I know all of you will help our new staff make the transition into our amazing school and most importantly make them feel welcomed and loved.

 

In other news, we found out that we will have a PE grant this year to provide 35 minutes of PE two times a week all year long. This means that in the fall, teachers will have a prep time for 35 minutes 4 days a week including music time. It also means we will have active healthy children who will be able to focus well in class. The fall position is vacant right now and we hope to fill it before school begins. Michelle Lampe will be our winter semester PE Specialist.

 

When you return, we will get things ready for a very successful year. El Camino del Río is a special place and we have all the tools necessary to give students, and staff, an exceptional learning experience.

 

I’m looking forward to learning and playing with you all at the Lamb Cottage on Monday, August 25th at 8:00 AM.

 

Mil gracias,

Joel Lavin, Principal/ Director
