Extendeds and Summatives
It is that time of the year in which administrators are conducting Extendeds and Summative Conferences.
Please be sure to start collecting artifacts for your summative conference, if you haven't done so already.
This year, the Personalized Professional Learning and Development (P2LD) requirements for your summer learning will be based on your summative evaluation score. Starting on May 7, you will be meeting with your evaluator to begin signing up for your P2LD. For more information see below.

Morning Announcements - PKA is Next
Please send students to the office for morning announcements no later than 7:50am. If you missed the 7:50am time, please send students at 9am to the office for announcements.
Personalize Professional Learning and Development (P2LD)
This year, you will be required to attend professional development during the summer. In the case that you don't complete your P2LD for any reason, you will need to report to work two days earlier (August 10 and 11) in order for you to attend the missed training. These two days of training will not be at our campus. It will be conducted by central staff. Please note that in the case that you do not attend the summer trainings, AND you do not attend August 10 and 11, your first paycheck for the school year will be deducted two work days. In previous years, you would have worked the first two days during Thanksgiving week to make up the trainings, but this option is not available at this time.
