Staff Update

A Note from the Office...
We are starting MAP testing with classes next week! Our small group testing is already well underway. This brings mixed emotions for many... as students in 3rd-6th grade have prepared for this all year. Remember our students need a champion, and you can be just that person.

Computer Lab Para Update
Please help me in welcoming Ms. Woods as the full time Computer Lab Para. Currently, Ms. Woods splits time between MC and HSA. We are happy she will be joining us full time next year.
Board Policy Revision
On 4-26-2019 a revision to Board Policy GCBDA was recommended to the Board. The Board voted to approve the amendment as presented modifying the original terms of restrictive leave. Employees are still responsible for securing coverage. The new terms are as follows:
Board Policy GCBDA
In the event the District is closed for ten or more days during the course of one school year due to unforeseen circumstances or inclement weather the District will waive the prohibition of using personal leave the last five days of school with verified proof the event was scheduled/ purchased prior to the 10th day of the District closing. Acceptable forms of verification may include a paid receipt with original date or copy of invitation. Restricted day terms still apply to general requests for leave the last five days for events scheduled after the 10th day of District closing.
For 2018-2019 the tenth day of closing was March 4, 2019.
