Summative Evaluations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Doug, Kim, Scott McD and Scott B will be reviewing the goal setting, self-assessment and summative evaluation process with department leaders to ensure that we are all on the same page as we transition into spring. June 30th is the deadline to have this completed and uploaded into the google drive system created by HR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From HR Director Triz delaRosa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

REMINDER:<\/strong> Any new classified staff member hired after Friday February 6, 2026 will not need to have a summative evaluation completed for the 25-26 school year. \u00a0Classified\u00a0<\/u><\/strong>employees hired as of February 9, 2026, through the end of the year, will participate in goal setting in the fall and be evaluated for the 26-27 school year. \u00a0Please let me know if you have any questions\/concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope you all continue to cruise through your evaluation process and have experienced some relief in getting all the steps complete.  Just a friendly reminder that we need to have files dropped into your provided Google Files as well as the workbooks for HR to have access.  If you are having any issues with the sheet, please remember to reach out to Jessica Lamay or me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We should be starting the summative cycle for classified staff, so if you have questions, please don\u2019t hesitate to reach out.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you again for all your work on these!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
