It can be longer during busy times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please send your documents as an attachment in an email, and in a manipulative form (Word, Pages etc) if at all possible. PDF\u2019s are difficult to translate and take longer. Please don\u2019t convert a PDF to Word. It ends up corrupted for the translator.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember to request your interpreter(s) on the portal 5-7 school days in advance unless it is an emergency issue such as medical, discipline, etc. The HDESD will always try to fill every request, but sometimes there isn\u2019t anyone available last minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t forget to notify our office in advance if the appointment is canceled or changed. We are charged for cancellations with less than 24 hours notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snacks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best practice when allowing students to eat in your classroom is as follows as per our district nurse Tami Pike.  Please encourage students to avoid bringing snacks that contain peanuts.  This will support all students having a safe and comfortable place to learn in the classroom.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evaluations and SLGGs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Remember that  Contract teachers who are on an evaluation cycle will receive SIX mini  observations and complete SLGGs, a self-reflection and a summative  evaluation. &nbsp;Contract teachers who are not being evaluated this year  will receive THREE mini observations and complete the SLGGs.&nbsp; ALL  Temporary and Probationary teachers get TWO FORMAL observations prior to  the end of Feb. For a mini observation to be considered \u201clegit\u201d you  must debrief with the teacher within 72 hours of the observation. And  finally, counselors will have a new goal setting sheet \u2013 specific to  counselors \u2013 in TalentEd, so don\u2019t be surprised by this change.  <\/li><li>I am still working with HR to make sure everyone is coded in the correct year of probationary etc.  Once I have that complete list I will share our HDMS document indicating which group you are in this year.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Equity Summit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>There\nis a statewide Educator Equity Summit coming up on Sept. 25 in Salem.
