Congratulations on another successful school year. We hope you take some time to relax and enjoy our beautiful summer weather!
To Do:
From Kinsey:
From Kinsey – Office of Policy & Advocacy:
Formal Complaints: -Action required-
Please go into your Dashboard and ensure you have completed your investigations and communication about each complaint or bias incident in your Dashboard. Be sure to mark it as “Resolved By School” when you have included notes, links/attachments, and other documentation. Reach out if you need support.
Community Engagement Bingo: -Action requested-
Time for prizes! Want to win a gift card ($25-$49.99) to places like El Sancho, Spork, downtown shops like Almadorada Coffee, and more?
If you attended any of the community visits and/or did a home visit this year, please note that here so we can celebrate your leadership and enter you into the raffle. For each Bingo square you completed, your chances of winning will go up! We’ll draw names at our June 15 admin lunch.
HR Evaluation Update:
Finalizing your Summative Evaluations? Please remember the following steps to assist HR.
To allow HR to have access to all of the required pieces of the evaluative process, files must be dropped into the HR provided Google folders, in addition to being linked into the workbook.
What happens if you don’t? Files are not accessible to HR and we have the potential of losing data.
If they are only shared in the spreadsheet without residing in the folders it is possible the files may get lost.
Correct:
Incorrect:
If you need technical assistance in accessing any of the documents or folders/workbook shared again, please reach out to Jessica Lamay.
Thank you all so much, for your continued help in making staff evaluations successful!

Where in the World:
Congratulations to Leslie Reif, who correctly guessed the image from last week! The image was of the Lodge at Lake Quinault located in the Olympic National Forest in Washington. It was built in 1926.
Below is the image for this week. No contest as this is the last blog for the year. Thanks to all for playing and we’ll come up with something new for next year!
