Congratulations with the completion of the school year!!

Have a wonderful weekend!

To Do
Temporary Employees – Very Important
HR will not be shutting down access to BLS email and UKG for temporary employees whose temp contracts end on June 30th. In order to give those employees the ability to apply for open positions and allow admin to communicate with those temporary staff about interview invitations, we are keeping those accounts open until August 18. We will close them on the 8/18.
FTE List Reminder
Each school received an email from Trish Uhart on May 5th with the subject line 2023-24 Certified FTE lists. Please read and respond to that email no later than June 23rd.
Updating Staff Assignments for 2023-24
Members of our HR team are holding an optional meeting with Office Managers on Tuesday, June 20th, from 12:00 – 2 pm at the Ed Center to review how to update staffing assignments through UKG. Lunch will be provided and this session is highly recommended for office managers who are still getting used to the HRIS module and HR Actions.
UKG’s Learning Platform
Performance Matters will be going away at the end of June, this year and replaced by UKG’s Learning platform. This means that anyone that wishes to pull their transcript data or certificates of completion for courses taken will need to do so BEFORE June 30, 2023. Go into your Performance Matters account -> MyCourses (at the top toolbar) -> My Transcript. If you want a sneak peek into the Learning module, here is a video overview of it. More information will be shared in August.
ICCL Hiring
Don’t forget to request to hire your ICCL candidates through UKG

Healthy Schools Family Letter Toolkit
The Healthy Schools team is going to develop a communication toolkit for schools this summer so schools can easily send letters to families on various health topics (think vaping, social media, substance use, etc.). We would like to collect ideas from you. What health topics would you like developed in the toolkit? What types of information do you want to communicate to families? The survey below will take 30 seconds. Thanks
Summer Office Hours Sign
please print this sign and post it on your front doors.
This and That
From Jackie Mueller
Standard Operating Procedure for School Holidays
Summertime holiday shutdowns are a great way to help conserve resources and save money. Please make sure all the staff see the Standard Operating Procedures for school holidays. Shutting down electronics can assist BLS in decreasing energy waste. Please see the attached District SOP.
Vanpool for the 23-24 school year
If you have staff that are currently or have been wanting to start a carpool to get to their schoolwork site, they might be interested in a FREE Vanpool with Commute with Enterprise. Through this program, staff are provided with a van, a gas card and gain time from their commute. This program has been established in the spring with Three Rivers and can expand to schools in the fall. Please see the attached flyer and if staff are interested, they should contact the sustainability coordinator [email protected]
From Krista Baker
I wanted to let you know that we will be officially offering a CPI Crisis Prevention Intervention (restraint) training
on Aug. 24th. The sign-up will be in UKG. This will be an all-day training. We invite all admin to attend.
A Reminder from Kinsey
Please see the email from Kinsey this week about CFEE and Taking It Up. This training is a significant priority for our school board and district leadership team, and is the underpinning of the work we are doing around instruction, inclusion, and belonging. Be sure to sign up if applicable, and please forward it to your teachers ASAP
