TO DO:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you<\/strong> for the terrific work you and your teams are doing to get our SENIORS graduated<\/strong>! I know this can be a challenging time of year as you are juggling so many key events that are culminating in a few weeks…while planning for next year! Stay positive<\/strong> and be sure to take some time to do something you enjoy!<\/strong> Trust the fabulous team<\/strong> around you to help – we are in this together.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for completing your Self Evaluation by tomorrow<\/strong> in TalentEd Perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Information:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We witnessed fantastic news coming out of the Senate this week with the passage of HB 3427<\/a> and much-needed funding for K-12 education!<\/strong> This linked article does a nice job of providing some of the behind-the-scenes drama, as well as outline the areas where these additional dollars will be earmarked. As a reminder, these funds do not infuse any additional revenue into our district\u2019s 2019-20 budget. (Also of note is that an increase in PERS rates \u2013 4.75% \u2013 will equate to an additional 4.4 million per year payment increase for BLS beginning next fall.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

School and Work Day Schedules:<\/strong> Here are the daily schedules for MVHS<\/a>, SHS<\/a> and BSHS<\/a> for the 19-20 school year. The hours for our Office Managers and Secretaries<\/strong> will be: OM<\/strong>:  7:30am – 4:00pm and Other Sec<\/strong>:  7:45am – 4:15pm. The hours for our SRO’s <\/strong>at all schools next year will be 8:15-4:15, meaning they should arrive at your schools by 8:15. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning for August:<\/strong> It’s hard to believe we are looking to our return in the fall! Here are the Leadership events and trainings <\/a>for August AND the work calendar and expectations<\/a> for the weeks of Aug 26-Sept 6.<\/strong> The training scheduled for August 20<\/strong> replaces our annual leadership retreat normally scheduled in early August AND kicks off the 2nd Annual Innovation Conference<\/a>. Be sure to REGISTER<\/strong> your building admin team and ICCL members in<\/strong> PERFORMANCE MATTERS<\/a><\/strong> <\/strong>for August 20 before leaving for the summer. *sign in to Performance Matters, click \u201cMy Courses\u201d, search for \u201cInnovative\u201d, then register for the days you plan to attend. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations to our twenty graduating seniors<\/strong> who will earn their state-level Seal of Biliteracy <\/strong>this spring! This is the first group to earn this distinction in our district! Here is the break down of our twenty seniors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
