Dear Colleagues,
Please read through all the updates below. There is a lot of important information that we want all members to know.
Public School Works
Recently you have received an email from the HR department regarding Public School Works online training. Under our contract the district can mandate 4 hours annually of PD during the student day unless PD occurs in ½ day or full day increments. Elementary and middle school will exceed their 4 hours of allowed PD once the Public School Works requirements are completed. The district has been made aware of the possible contract violation, so time will be built in on your PD day to complete all the Public School Works. If you have already completed your Public Works you should have time to complete work of your choice during that part of the PD day.
Conference Recording Form
Today Dr. Lombardo emailed your conference recording form. Any contact made with parents outside of your normal work day counts towards these 30 minutes for middle/high and 60 minutes for elementary. Parent contact could include:
- Emails
- Phone calls
- Additional conferences
- An open Google Meet for parents to join and meet with you
- Remind/Class Dojo messages
- IEP/504 meetings
- Other parent contact
