To Do
From Kinsey:
Family Liaisons and FAN Advocates:
I know you are wondering who your Liaison and FAN Advocate will be this year. We had some August changes with staff on those teams, so I am still completing hiring. After hiring, I will finalize school placements but those will likely not be confirmed for another two weeks.
In the meantime: If your school has August family events, please invite the Liaison and Advocate who have been serving your school most recently, and assume they’ll be with you again until/unless you hear otherwise. (My goal is to make minimal changes to placements this year, so hopefully you’ll experience consistency within those roles.) Liaisons and FAN are not back on contract until the last week in August, but some might be available for your earlier family events. In addition to inviting those roles, don’t forget to request interpreters via Linguist Link.
If you have questions or an urgent need related to family engagement or family support, reach out!
For your launch on Climate and Culture & for presentation on Aug 13

There is work that needs to be done to get the 2024/25 UKG evaluation process up and running; in the meantime, schools may begin their SLGG process by copying/filling out the Google Form template and keeping a copy of it until the process launches in October.
Here are useful links:
- SLGG Google Form – Staff can either make a digital copy to complete or they can print and fill out a hard copy. These can be uploaded into UKG (instructions to follow)
- SLG Goals for Social Emotional Learning & Engagement is a great resource for those creating school wide or team SLGGs for non-academic areas
- State SLGG Guidance
- Teacher and Administrator Evaluation & Support Systems: Frequently Asked Questions
Staff can then attach a pdf of their completed form when the goal-setting task appears in their UKG To Do list.
Coordination of the entire the entire Certified Evaluation process and managing the Performance module within UKG will take up a significant part of the yet-to-be-hired HR Director’s first 60 days, so more communication will be shared once that vacancy is filled.
This and That
From Katie Legace
Just a heads up that because of the reduction in the HSS allocation from the state, we may not be able to allocate HSS money to our MS’s. We are checking to see if an allocation is required because we are not sure.
Just so you know, I would like to be able to allocate something but don’t know what (or if) we will be able to. I will keep you posted.
