\u00a0QPR Training-<\/strong><\/span> Three Rivers, North Star, Miller, Pine Ridge, Amity\/Highland (together), Ensworth\/Juniper (together) need to sign up for QPR training<\/a> if you haven’t already.<\/p>\n

ICCL’s-<\/strong><\/span> HR has approved hiring for ICCL team members whose contracts are up this year. Be sure to follow a process for hiring that includes: notifying all of your certified staff about the number of openings and the deadline for applying, verifying they have submitted their paperwork to HR and selecting your interview team and interviewing all candidates.<\/p>\n

Title I Budgets-<\/strong><\/span> We have a preliminary allocation for you to use. The amount will be on the Title page of your staffing. When you input a certified or classified employee under the title column it will automatically calculate totals on the title page so that you can see if you have overspent or have more money left. Again, this is preliminary. The school allocation is based on about 3+% less than the state’s initial allocation since that has been the average reduction the last four years when we get our final allocation in August. Hopefully, the final comes in closer to the initial and we have more to distribute in August. Any more than we are budgeting will go directly to schools as fixed staffing costs at district level are already accounted for. Give me a call if you have any questions.<\/p>\n

Self Evals-<\/strong><\/span> Please complete your self-evals by the end of May. I’ll set up a time to meet (in person or webex- your choice) sometime before June 19.<\/p>\n

Leave Sheets-<\/strong><\/span> Please send me your leave sheets by Monday.<\/p>\n

Kids, Inc. Registration-<\/strong><\/span> you may want to communicate this information<\/a> to families on pre registration for kids, inc. programs in the fall. Obviously, we don’t know what fall will look like in schools, but they are proactively planning. This would be especially good information for kindergartners who don’t have siblings.<\/p>\n

A Good Listen- <\/strong><\/span> Decisions getting tough? Check out this podcast from Bruce Perry. Lots of implications here. Might want to give kids some breaks in their work day. Also, if you are a kid, don’t get sent to the principal’s office right before they eat lunch.<\/p>\n
