Take a look at BLS tier one page<\/a> or reach out to your site tech with questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Walt Norris: <\/strong> Since we are getting closer to summer, it’s time for our custodial crew to start firing up for summer clean. One thing that happens every year that is an issue, is the teacher’s personal items left in the classroom. Because of security, safety and personal reasons custodial will not be handling them. This soft furniture, bookshelves, rugs, aquarium’s, plants, animals etc. shouldn’t be a custodial responsibility to clean and is ultimately a risk if there is breakage, missing or otherwise. Please encourage teachers to take their personal items home for the summer. The custodial crew thanks you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Celebration of our Counselors! <\/strong>On Friday June 2nd<\/sup>, counselors gathered in the level groups to celebrate their school counseling program.  During our time together, counselors delivered short presentations to share data and program updates that looked at how students are different as a result of school counseling programming.  In alignment with the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), school counselors evaluate and share the results of their programs impact and effectiveness with key shareholders. We are so grateful for those that were able to attend our celebration.  If you weren\u2019t able to attend, we encourage you to meet with your school counseling team to go over their data and slides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are the slide decks by level for your reference:   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are removing the Hiring Checklist from the request to hire process as of Monday, June 5th<\/sup> [insert cheer].   The instruction video<\/a> has been re-recorded to reflect this and we’ve also updated where to change a candidate’s hiring stage from Applicant<\/strong> to Request to Hire<\/strong> as the old video became outdated when UKG performed a software update last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please reference UKG Job Requisition, Interview Prep, Applicant Screening and Hiring Tips<\/a> as we enter into peak hiring season.
