Bucket Fillers

- WAY TO GO, ALL, for making it to the 100th day of school!
NEWS FROM THE A-TEAM
Contracts - READ CAREFULLY!
Contracts will be distributed differently this year. Instead of coming to Cherie's desk to sign/notarize, teachers will receive electronic contracts. Around the first week in February, an email will be sent with instructions that will need to be followed carefully and within a timely manner. SAVE THIS EMAIL. It will also include information on how to access the system where your contract will live online (in TalentED) - where you did beginning of the year checklists. Contracts are projected to be available for digital signature around Valentine's Day.
EMPLOYEES WHO WILL NOT RECEIVE CONTRACTS:
- Classified employees (paras, custodians, lunch staff, clerical positions).
- Part-time certified employees
- Limited contract employees
- Any teacher who was on a remediation plan last school year or this school year.
ADDITIONAL YEAR
If you have a Special Education student who you believe may require an additional year, please email your grade level counselor and copy Jaime.
FACT Programs Begin Monday
- On the first day of FACT Programs, students should bring you a transportation change form so you are aware that they will attend that FACT Program. TAKE EXTRA TIME TO ENSURE YOU KNOW DISMISSAL FOR ALL STUDENTS THIS WEEK.
- The first week is a little hairy. Please be ready to help us at dismissal if needed!
