For a number of reasons, it\u2019s the district\u2019s expectation that all staff report to their sites on all workdays (with the exception of the last workday in June this year): 1) This time is designed for teachers to not only complete grading, but plan for the weeks and months ahead, if they have time-they may want to confer with colleagues as a part of that work; 2) If there are glitches with anything related to report cards and\/or grading, it\u2019s easy to find staff; and 3) This day provides great opportunities for staff connections (NOT REQUIRED FOR STAFF) such as bagels for breakfast, a PTO-provided lunch, a staff potluck, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">From Alandra Johnson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have some key info for principals to share \u2013 please feel free to change\/adjust the following message as it fits for your level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key Dates&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Principals, timelines for applying for ACRs and Choice Option schools have changed significantly this year and we need your help making sure families receive this communication.

However, that process has been delayed. The district decided to keep this as a non-student contact day; however, it remains a paid day for ALL STAFF, certified and classified. For certified staff, the day will be divided into half site-directed inservice and half work time.\u00a0 Some classified staff will be required to attend inservice on that day. For other classified staff, it will be a building-directed work time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What might this half day of site-directed inservice look like?&nbsp; First, reserve 30 minutes for a cyber security training (see Scott Mc Donald\u2019s info in the blog today). The focus of the rest of your site-directed inservice would be working around your school goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Feb 2<sup>nd<\/sup>\u00a0Plan for Classified<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Principals, please share\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1IYcOPdaehSAs7BTlylUwzyNDuTN77466BXpw1BsKwmc\/edit?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this message<\/a>\u00a0with anyone in your building in one of the classified roles highlighted YELLOW\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1YgTihklQFsBop9PrqATi2Vbo2kkPx68m\/edit?usp=sharing&amp;ouid=101901553894515394901&amp;rtpof=true&amp;sd=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.\u00a0 If some of these folks don\u2019t have easy access to email, be sure to share with them in an accessible manner to ensure they receive this information.\u00a0 Thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">From Scott McDonald\u2013Cybersecurity Training to add to your Feb 2 PD<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the beginning of this school year, 31 school districts across the country have experienced large scale ransomware attacks.\u00a0 In each case, the attackers are seeking to steal the personal information of every student and staff member.\u00a0 This type of attack can easily be prevented by informed and vigilant end users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Thursday, February 2nd, we will be pushing out a 30 minute Cyber Security training called,&nbsp; KnowBe4 Cybersecurity Awareness Training. All staff can expect a link in their email.&nbsp; They will need to be given 30 minutes during your building PD time that day to complete this training.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We last offered a similar training over two years ago. The training is informative, engaging and will only take 30 minutes of your time.&nbsp; Additional information will be made available prior to February 2<sup>nd<\/sup>.&nbsp; Thank you in advance for your participation and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">This and That<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">From Kinsey Martin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1W4l8IFkAPqh9qN7XT9px8tfLnff4lRjqYjsxBaGGvYI\/edit?usp=sharing\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1W4l8IFkAPqh9qN7XT9px8tfLnff4lRjqYjsxBaGGvYI\/edit?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\">DOC<\/a> for your review.
