To Do:
If you have any certified staff of concern and have not communicated this to Jon yet, please do so immediately. Depending on where this employee is on Contract or Probationary status will depend on the next steps – some of which take time to accomplish, but need to be completed by February 2020.
SLGGS, Mini Observations, Prob/Temp Formal Evals and your self-assessment: Be sure you are keeping up with the timeline to complete these important pieces of our evaluation system! By winter break you should have completed: all SLGGS should be digitally signed off (including YOURS) in TalentEd Perform and you should have completed the initial meetings with your staff; completed and digitally entered two mini observations; completed one full cycle formal observation with all of your probs/temps and completed and digitally signed off on YOUR self-assessment. Please check-in with me if you have any questions.
Information:
We have modified the language in JC-AR related to the Choice Attendance Area in south county impacting BSHS and LPHS. Check out the NEW LANGUAGE on page 3, the second bullet. The school a student selects becomes their home school and to move, they would need to go through BACC.
This is from Dana Pedersen: FAN Services during the holidays: FAN Advocates are willing and able to assist families with basic needs during the holidays. Please help support staff and Advocates to refrain from providing direct support that is connected to the holidays. We will continue to connect families with cooperating partners that provide presents and the like during the holiday season; FAN keeps our focus on the basics. If schools, or school affiliated organizations want to help, they can coordinate efforts with FAN by collecting items that can be donated to a food bank, or by asking for clothing items that Advocates can pass out during the winter months. These are but two ways to engage your larger school community if the desire is there. I would also ask your help in supporting Advocates in not handing out gift cards to stores that sell tobacco or alcohol products. Board Policy JFCG-AP specifically speaks to district staff not being involved in the sale of such substances. By handing out gift cards to grocery stores, we are giving clients access to these substances. There are many food banks, churches and outside agencies that can support families with food needs over the holidays. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you-
