  • 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.

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

  • Change to School Entry Procedures - From Eastmont Su...

    Good Afternoon, Given continuing concerns regarding local criminal gang activity, the Uvalde, Texas shooting, and a direct recommendation from the East Wenatchee Police Chief earlier today; I am directing the following to be put into place as of tomorrow, June 1, 2022 for the remainder of the 2021-22 school year. All exterior doors, to include front entrances to schools, will be locked once school starts and continue to be locked until dismissal.  Visiting students, parents and community members needing access to buildings while school is in session will be greeted by a staff member, use a bell/buzzer system, or be asked to call the front office with phone numbers clearly posted at each entrance to gain entry. All schools will provide supervision at primary entry and exit doors during arrival and dismissal times.  Interior classroom and office doors may be left open at an employee's discretion.  When students are outside (recess, lunch, health and fitness) supervisors will immediately report any unrecognized visitors to the office or direct them to leave campus. If the visitor ignores these directions, supervisors are to return students to the building and alert the office and law enforcement if necessary. The East Wenatchee Police Department and Douglas County Sheriff’s Department will be providing additional support to all Eastmont Schools during the remaining days of the 2021-22 school year. Officers will be visible both inside and outside of schools to provide students, staff and our families an additional level of assurance of safety. Once the year concludes, Eastmont Administrators will work with law enforcement to determine what safeguards to continue into 2022-23. Sincerely, Garn Christensen Superintendent
