Need CEU's? A message from HR
If staff members are looking for ideas for getting credits for their licensure, we have a place on the HR website that they can go to for ideas.
On the HR licensure page, underneath the table of credits is a link “if I am short on credits where can I go?”
When they click on this link we have a working document with ideas of free resources.
The direct link to this page is: https://www.cabarrus.k12.nc.us/Page/75192 if you want to share it with anyone.
Also, be sure to check periodically your licensure status and the amount that you need for renewal.
Staff Shout-Outs
Please remember to submit names and info. by each Thursday for the following week.
Shout-out to April, Melanie, and all who supported our Fall Festival!
Shout-out to Carolyn Daugherty, Sarah Dalton, Megan Payne, Annette Carpenter, Michelle Furr, Heather Pratt, Meghan Walker, and others on the EC team for supporting students and parents with some pretty difficult IEP meetings as of late. Would also like to thank general education and encore teachers for their efforts in these settings as it truly takes a team to do right by our students, help parents understand the support, and to dedicate a tremendous amount of time to make it all right.
Please let me know if you would like to include any shout-outs.

Safe Schools Training
The first round of training should have been completed by September 30.
The system provides individual notifications to people and what is yet to be completed and by when.
Safety Procedures - District Audits Begin Any Day Now
Important Reminders:
1. Outside doors/gates should never be propped open - if you see one open, it is your responsibility to do something and to not leave it for someone else to mind.
2. All interior doors must be locked at all times - classroom doors may be open if occupied, but should still remain locked. If you leave your class, it must be closed behind you.
3. ID badges must be worn at all times.
