To Do:
We appreciate our counselors!
From Jen: National School Counseling Week 2023 (#NSCW23) is Feb. 6-10, 2023, to focus public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems. National School Counseling Week, sponsored by ASCA, highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. National School Counseling Week is always celebrated the first full week in February.
I have sent to you via interoffice mail a “Certificate of Appreciation” for each of your counselors as well as a sign for them to hang on their door. Scan QR code below for some resources to help your school celebrate this week with your counselor/s😊

Information:
From Human Resources:
UKG Site Maintenance – In preparation for our anticipated Go Live date of February 13, staff will not be able to access UKG features starting on February 2nd. This will allow our implementation team to perform site maintenance and users (except a select few) won’t have access to any UKG functionality. Attempts to login between February 2nd and the 13th, will receive the following message.
UKG Recruitment Trainings – Thank you to North Star and Mountain View for hosting our first two trainings. We are still editing the powerpoint to reflect administrator feedback. Prior to February 13th, we will share the powerpoint with all admin and office managers. Admin/Supervisor In Person Sign Up Link

Job Postings During Frontline To UKG Transition – We are attempting to close as many job postings as possible by February 10th so you can screen, interview and hire candidates through Frontline. Positions that are open past February 10th will need to be screened, interviewed and hired through UKG. During the weekend of February 11th/12th, our UKG implementation team will transition open positions to UKG (you don’t need to do anything) and we’ll copy applicant data over to UKG so that those who applied through Frontline will now have their data within UKG.

Time and Leave FAQs – Here is a document that we will update as new questions arise.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Classified Job Postings and Hiring Update for Temporary Positions – We are closely approaching the date when some temporary classified new hires will not be eligible for benefits and be excluded from the bargaining unit because their employment in 2022-23 will be less than 80 days. HR will be editing temporary job postings to reflect this as the less than 80 day employment window ensues (see this link for the impacted jobs and dates).
It is very important for administrators/supervisors involved in offering jobs to new temporary hires after these dates that these prospective employees are aware of the non-benefited status of their position before they accept the position.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Classified Evaluation – In a few weeks you’ll be receiving information from HR identifying the classified employees who need to be evaluated this year. As a reminder, we rotate staff so that they are only required to be evaluated every other year (after their first year probationary period). Temporary employees are not required to be evaluated.
