  • This is what we heard. Did we get it right? Another ...

    Dear Eastmont School Parents and Community,   Thank you for your participation in our first ThoughtExchange about our November bond issue.   Your responses to the survey supported the option of keeping the combined tax rate as is, and rebuilding 3 schools. You shared that the bond amount was too high, the timing was bad due to the pandemic, and the community was not given enough information or time to process the bond. After reviewing your input, we are considering the option described above in the underlined text. We are now asking you to rate 10 questions that we generated from your thoughts. At the end, you will have a chance to add any additional input that you would like us to consider.  Your input is very valuable, and we are shooting for a high participation rate.  And remember, we can not determine who wrote the thoughts or gave the ratings:  it is completely anonymous.  Thank you in advance for your time, and for being part of our community conversation about the future of the Eastmont School District facilities.  This ThoughtExchange will close on May 20, 2023. In this together, Becky Berg, Superintendent Use this link to participate,  https://tejoin.com/scroll/273861451 , or use the attached QR code.

  • We need your input.....

    Dear Eastmont Families,  We need your input on our recent bond election in November of 2022.   To gather your feedback, we're using a tool called ThoughtExchange. All of our voices matter, so your participation is crucial and valued.  Staff have received a similar message via email, and a letter is en route to every home in the district for community members at large. Click here to participate: https://tejoin.com/scroll/470530503 You'll be asked to respond to one open-ended question, consider and assign ratings to some of the ideas shared by others (20 to 30 is ideal), and learn what's important to the group. You can rate as many thoughts as you’d like before moving on to 'View Results' where you can see all the thoughts sorted by the average rating. Your thoughts and ratings are confidential. You can come back as often as you'd like to participate and, in fact, we ask that you do come back to rate some of the new ideas shared since you first participated. Each respondent has a unique identifier that brings them back to their own ratings, so no one can "stuff the ballot box". The ratings will help us understand the most important areas to focus on when improving our facilities.  Participation will be open until March 17, 2023 . If you need technical help, please call ThoughtExchange at 1-800-361-9027 ext. 4 or email  help@thoughtexchange.com .  You can also ask your older children for help, as they seem one step ahead of us when it comes to technology!  Thank you in advance for your time and input. We are in this together, Becky Berg Superintendent For more information visit: www.thoughtexchange.com

  • Fentanyl In the Wenatchee Valley - Fentanilo en Vall...

    Spanish version abajo Opioid/Fentanyl Abuse  - Across our nation and here in this region we are seeing an increase in opioid drug abuse. The Columbia River Drug Task Force recently issued a safety bulletin confirming the presence of “rainbow fentanyl” in the Wenatchee Valley.      Fentanyl is a dangerous synthetic opioid that is 50 times more potent than heroin. Just two milligrams (equal to a few grains of salt) can be considered a lethal dose. Though we have  yet  to have a confirmed fentanyl detection on our Eastmont School Campuses we want to reinforce with students, staff and parents the increased need for awareness and education.  Parents  it is important to talk early and often with your child about the consequences and dangers of all drug abuse. Parent disapproval of drug use is one of the main reasons children and teens refuse drugs when offered. Even when it feels like they aren't listening, they are, so  talk, and talk often. If an overdose were suspected, each school now has Naloxone (Narcan) which is a nasal spray medication that can reverse an overdose. Our school nurses are training staff in each school who could recognize the signs of an overdose and appropriately administer this medication.  Signs of an opioid overdose. Pinpoint pupils, slow shallow or no breathing. Body stiffening Foaming at the mouth  Difficult to wake Cold, clammy skin Grey/blue skin, fingernails, or lips Resources:  Drug Overdose Prevention, Recognition, and Response | Washington State Department of Health   https://www.crisisconnections.org/wa-recovery-help-line/ https://www.cdc.gov/stopoverdose/fentanyl/index.html   Douglas County Crisis Line: 1-800-852-2923 Order Free at home Narcan here:   get naloxone delivered for free    Abuso de opiáceos/fentanilo  - En toda nuestra nación y aquí en esta región estamos viendo un aumento en el abuso de drogas opioides. El Grupo de trabajo contra las drogas del río Columbia emitió recientemente un boletín de seguridad que confirma la presencia de "fentanilo arcoíris" en el valle de Wenatchee.       El fentanilo es un opioide sintético peligroso que es 50 veces más potente que la heroína. Solo dos miligramos (igual a unos pocos granos de sal) pueden considerarse una dosis letal. Aunque todavía no tenemos una detección confirmada de fentanilo en nuestros campus escolares de Eastmont, queremos reforzar con los estudiantes, el personal y los padres la mayor necesidad de conciencia y educación. Padres  es importante hablar pronto y con frecuencia con su hijo sobre las consecuencias y los peligros del abuso de todas las drogas. La desaprobación de los padres sobre el consumo de drogas es una de las principales razones por las que los niños y adolescentes rechazan las drogas cuando se les ofrecen. Incluso cuando parece que no están escuchando, lo están haciendo, así que hable y hable con frecuencia. Si se sospechara una sobredosis, cada escuela ahora tiene Naloxone (Narcan), que es un medicamento en aerosol nasal que puede revertir una sobredosis. Nuestras enfermeras escolares están capacitando al personal de cada escuela para que pueda reconocer los signos de una sobredosis y administrar adecuadamente este medicamento. Signos de una sobredosis de opioides. Pupilas puntiformes, respiración lenta, superficial o sin respiración.

  • Late starts, school closures or other changes - In...

    Version en Espanol abajo A late start, early release, or school closure is a decision made necessary due to road conditions, power, water, sewer, and other environmental factors or illness. Any day that school is closed must be made up during the current school year.   These decisions to change the regular day are made by the Superintendent and will be communicated to parents as soon as possible. Notification will be provided on the District website, via local media, and the District’s phone/text message system. No information or message indicates schools are running on their regular schedule. Any delay or closure is only made after consultation with regional experts related to the type of conditions creating the concern. For example, snow delays are based on reports from the County Department of Transportation, local law enforcement, and the District Transportation Supervisor. Common types of modifications to the school schedule include: 1. All schools delayed two hours – including YMCA student care programs. This decision is generally made between 5:00 and 5:30 AM with notification texts sent to parents and staff, a posting to the District’s website and social media, and relayed to regional radio stations and news media. 2. School is closed for the whole day. No school during the day and evening activities or out-of-district travel are canceled. This decision is generally made by 5:30 AM. 3. Other delays or closures as needed may be implemented.    When you work in rural schools, the unexpected is always possible. (No electricity in the school, frozen pipes, plumbing backed up, etc.) Eastmont encourages parents to provide both email and phone numbers for text alerts.  Both of these communication tools continue to become more common for emergency type communications. Once the decision is made to change the school schedule: Parents and Eastmont Staff will receive a ParentSquare text or message. District’s website will be updated immediately at www.eastmont206.org District’s Facebook  and Twitter will be updated immediately. Regional Media (radio, newspaperis notified immediately of ANY type of school schedule change: Updated Weather Phone Hotline:   888-1111 Un comienzo tardío, una salida temprana o el cierre de la escuela es una decisión necesaria debido a las condiciones del camino, la electricidad, el agua, el alcantarillado y otros factores ambientales o enfermedades. Cualquier día que la escuela esté cerrada debe recuperarse durante el año escolar actual. Estas decisiones de cambiar el día regular son hechas por el Superintendente y serán comunicadas a los padres tan pronto como sea posible. La notificación se proporcionará en el sitio web del Distrito, a través de los medios locales y el sistema de mensajes de texto/teléfono del Distrito.  No hay información que indique que las escuelas están funcionando en su horario regular. Cualquier retraso o cierre solo se realiza después de consultar con expertos regionales relacionados con el tipo de condiciones que generan la preocupación. Por ejemplo, los retrasos por nieve se basan en informes del Departamento de Transporte del Condado, la policía local y el Supervisor de Transporte del Distrito. Los tipos comunes de modificaciones al horario escolar incluyen: 1. Todas las escuelas se retrasaron dos horas, incluidos los programas de atención al estudiante de la YMCA. Esta decisión generalmente se toma entre las 5:00 y las 5:30 a. m. con mensajes de texto de notificación enviados a los padres y al personal, una publicación en el sitio web del Distrito y las redes sociales, y retransmitido a las estaciones de radio regionales y los medios de comunicación. 2. La escuela está cerrada durante todo el día. Se cancelan las clases durante el día y las actividades nocturnas o los viajes fuera del distrito. Esta decisión generalmente se toma a las 5:30 AM. 3. Se pueden implementar otros retrasos o cierres según sea necesario. Cuando trabajas en escuelas rurales, lo inesperado siempre es posible. (No hay electricidad en la escuela, tuberías congeladas, plomería colapsada, etc.) Eastmont invita a los padres a proporcionar tanto el correo electrónico como los números de teléfono para las alertas de texto. Ambas herramientas de comunicación siguen siendo más comunes para las comunicaciones de emergencia. Una vez que se toma la decisión de cambiar el horario escolar: 1. Los padres y el personal de Eastmont recibirán un mensaje de texto o mensaje de ParentSquare. 2. El sitio web del distrito se actualizará inmediatamente en  www.eastmont206.org   3. El Facebook y Twitter  del distrito se actualizarán de inmediato. 4. Regional Media  es notificado inmediatamente de CUALQUIER tipo de cambio de horario escolar: 5. Línea de información  meteorológica actualizada: 509-888-1111
