School Safety Reminder

Thank you parents for your supports to keep our school safe:

  1. Drive Through line is not a parking line. Please don’t leave your car in the drive-through line.
  2. Bus Loop Parking: We notice that there are a lot of students walking to the bus loop parking without adult supervision. Bus Loop parking lot is reserved for bus and staff. Please avoid park at bus loop parking lot to ensure students’ safety during arrival and dismissal.
  3. Handicap Parking should be reserved for family who has the handicap parking permit.
学校安全提醒:

  1. 请家长在放学的时候不要在drive through通道停车和下车。
  2. 校车停车场:我们发现校车停车场出现了很多的行人,校车司机反映这个情况是非常危险的。希望大家避免在上学和放学的繁忙时间使用校车停车场。
  3. 残疾人专用停车位:残疾人专用停车位是留给有残疾证的家长用,请大家停车的时候注意停车标志。
November/December Safety Drills

In November we conducted a lockOUT drill to practice quickly securing the building. A lockout is different from a lockdown.

A lockout is used when there is no direct danger to the school,

but there may be something potentially dangerous in the area around the school.

For example, if a bear was spotted in the neighborhood or

if there was police activity near the school.

During a lockout, students are brought inside and all exterior doors are locked.

Inside, classes continue,

but staff maintain a heightened level of awareness in case there is a change

in the situation.

Please talk with your student about preparing for emergencies and disasters.

Encourage them to talk about their concerns and express their feelings.

Emphasize that even though sometimes things happen that we may not expect,

there are lots of things we can do to help us stay safe.

For more information on talking to your child about school safety,

you might want to visit the

website https://www.mhanational.org/talking-kids-about-school-safety.

In December we will conduct a shelter-in-place drill.

A scenario where a shelter-in-place would be necessary is:

Chlorine Release On Nearby Road

A tanker truck traveling on a nearby road has overturned,

releasing chlorine gas. Police have called and said you have about

10 minutes to prepare your Shelter-in-place areas.

During a shelter-in-place drill, students sit quietly while staff simulate

sealing the room to limit outside air exchange.

Shelter-in-place procedures would only be used if officials determine

there is not enough time

to safely evacuate people out of the danger zone.

 

Please talk with your student about preparing for emergencies and disasters.

Encourage them to talk about their concerns and express their feelings.

Emphasize that even though sometimes things happen that we may not expect,

there are lots of things we can do to help us stay safe.

For more information on shelter-in-place, you might want to visit the

十一月/十二月安全演习

 

11 月,我们进行了一次Lock-Out演习,练习快速保护建筑物。

 

Lock out与Lock down不同。 当学校没有直接危险,但学校周围区域可能存在潜在危险时,就会使用封锁。 例如,如果在附近发现一只熊或者学校附近有警察活动。

 

停课期间,学生被带入室内,所有外门均被锁上。 在里面,课程仍在继续,但工作人员保持高度警惕,以防情况发生变化。

 

请与您的学生讨论如何为紧急情况和灾难做好准备。 鼓励他们谈论他们的担忧并表达他们的感受。 强调,尽管有时会发生我们意想不到的事情,但我们可以做很多事情来帮助我们保持安全。

 

有关与您的孩子谈论学校安全的更多信息,您可能需要访问网站 https://www.mhanational.org/talking-kids-about-school-safety

 

12月份我们将进行就地避难演习。 需要就地避难的情况是:

附近道路释放氯气

一辆在附近道路上行驶的油罐车翻倒,释放出氯气。 警方打电话说您有大约 10 分钟的时间准备就地避难区域。

 

在就地避难演习中,学生们安静地坐着,而工作人员则模拟密封房间以限制外部空气交换。

 

只有在官员确定没有足够的时间将人员安全疏散出危险区域的情况下,才会使用就地避难程序。

 

请与您的学生讨论如何为紧急情况和灾难做好准备。 鼓励他们谈论他们的担忧并表达他们的感受。 强调,尽管有时会发生我们意想不到的事情,但我们可以做很多事情来帮助我们保持安全。

Core Values, Behavior Expectation, Virtue of the Month

Jing Mei’s core values is ACHIeVe: (Aesthetics/ Community/ Health/ Intelligent/ Virtue).

Students’ daily behavior expectation is the Big Three:

Show Respect, Make Good Decisions, Solve Problems.

Each month our students also focus on learning a

JING MEI virtue:

September: Joy

October: Inclusion

November: Niceness

December: Gratitude

February: Mindfulness

March: Endurance

April: Integrity

At the end of each week, one or two students from each class (Prek to 5th) will be recognized for showing ACHIeVe with big threes. They will be recognized through Friday announcements and celebrated with a certificate and a prize on Friday!

At our assemblies, students are learning the virtues . Students will review the virtue of the month in class and do their ACHIeVe Virtue worksheet and get raffle opportunities.

 

Partnering with PTSA, students can do ACHIeVe or JING MEI Virtue drawing to enter Phoenix Challenge. More information about Phoenix Challenge can be found on parentsquare: https://www.parentsquare.com/feeds/25035000

We appreciate our parents’ supports at home by talking about the JM core values, monthly virtue and daily behavior expectations.

本月核心价值观和美德

 

景美的核心价值观是ACHIEVe:(美学/社区/健康/智能/美德)。

 

学生的日常行为期望是三大要素:表现尊重、做出正确决定、解决问题。

 

每个月我们的学生还专注于学习景美美德:

 

九月:乐

十月:容

十一月:善

十二月:恩

二月:美

三月:毅

四月:正

 

每周结束时,每个班(从学前班到五年级)有一或者两位学生因为展示出三大目标和德智体群美而受到表彰。 他们将通过周五的公告得到认可,并在周五获得证书和奖品来庆祝!

在我们的集会上,学生们正在学习美德。 学生将在课堂上回顾本月的美德,并完成他们的 ACHIeVe 和美德表现并获得抽奖机会。

 

与PTSA合作,学生可以通过ACHIEVe或JING MEI Virtue绘画来参加Phoenix Challenge。 有关凤凰城挑战赛的更多信息可以在parentsquare上找到:https://www.parentsquare.com/feeds/25035000

 

我们希望和感谢家长在家可以继续跟学生讨论我们的共同价值:德智体群美,每月美德,三大行为要求、目标。

School Funding 101 – Understanding Our Money Sources

Learn more about the district’s sources of money and how we can spend them. In school districts, we have multiple buckets of funds where our money is accounted for — General Fund, Capital and Technology Fund and Building Fund. Each of these funds has designated uses and we as a district are limited in how we can transfer money between these funds based on state law.

Learn more about BSD’s funding sources.

Inclement Weather and Potential Closure Reminders

Winter is approaching and may bring unpredictable weather. BSD encourages families to take the time to revisit the district’s emergency closure schedule protocols and our emergency closure decision-making process. During instances of inclement weather or severe conditions that could result in a delayed or canceled school day, BSD will communicate any schedule changes to families through direct messages, including email, text message, phone call, social media, FlashAlert, local media and posts to bsd405.org. Learn how to update your contact information in ParentVUE and set message preferences in SchoolMessenger to receive inclement weather and emergency communications according to your desired methods. While these decisions are made for the district at large, conditions may vary across the district. We encourage families to make personal decisions based on their specific circumstances.

恶劣天气和可能关闭的提醒

冬天即将来临,可能会带来不可预测的天气。 BSD 鼓励家庭花时间重新审视学区的紧急关闭时间表协议和我们的紧急关闭决策流程。 在恶劣天气或恶劣条件可能导致上课延迟或取消的情况下,BSD 将通过直接消息(包括电子邮件、短信、电话、社交媒体、FlashAlert、当地媒体和帖子)向家庭传达任何日程安排变更 bsd405.org。 了解如何在 ParentVUE 中更新您的联系信息并在 SchoolMessenger 中设置消息首选项,以便根据您所需的方法接收恶劣天气和紧急通信。 虽然这些决定是针对整个学区做出的,但不同学区的情况可能有所不同。 我们鼓励家庭根据自己的具体情况做出个人决定。

Middle School Consolidation Study – Community Forums Recap and Next Steps

Thank you to everyone who participated in community forums over the past few weeks and provided feedback on the ongoing Middle School Consolidation Study. The district is grateful to over 700 people who took the time to attend the in-person and online events, review and react to the demographer reports, share their perspectives and questions, and brainstorm priorities for the middle school experience. This feedback, along with individual survey feedback, will inform the Superintendent and his team in the development of a recommendation of how the District will address the challenges of declining enrollment.

 

We will continue equity-driven outreach to students, families and community groups until early December to understand the history, perspectives and experiences of students and families who have been historically marginalized or underserved in our education system — and the potential impacts they may experience depending on the recommendation.

 

The questions and feedback from the community forums are currently being synthesized, and initial themes will be shared with the community later in November. Feedback from the additional engagements with students, families and community groups will also be shared back with the community in December. View the Middle School Consolidation Study Timeline for a full list of important dates.

中学学校合并研究 – 社区论坛回顾和后续步骤

我们将继续对学生、家庭和社区团体进行公平驱动的外展活动,直到 12 月初,以了解历史上在我们的教育系统中被边缘化或服务不足的学生和家庭的历史、观点和经历,以及他们可能经历的潜在影响,具体取决于 的建议。

 

目前正在综合社区论坛的问题和反馈,初步主题将于 11 月晚些时候与社区共享。 与学生、家庭和社区团体的额外互动的反馈也将于 12 月与社区分享。 查看中学合并时间表,了解重要日期的完整列表。
