JCPS Foundation Grants
The Jefferson City Public Schools Foundation will receive grant applications for teaching and school grants for 2016. The deadline to submit these applications is Monday, January 11, 2016 at 4:00 pm. You can find the grant applications on the Foundation's website www.jcpsfoundation.org under the tab for teachers. Please make the appropriate number of copies requested on the form and send them to the Foundation Office at the Miller Performing Arts Center.
Thank you for your support of the Foundation. We are here to serve the teachers and students especially through this grant program.
Not sure if you have a great idea for a grant? Talk to our building winners from last year - Ashley Angle, Amanda McCutchen, and Katie Whitener. I'm sure they would be willing to share their winning proposals with anyone who is interested!
Required Training Videos
This is a reminder that staff members are required to annually watch training videos. All training videos must be watched and completion forms submitted by February 1, 2016. These training videos are required by state law and/or district policy, and you must annually provide confirmation that you have completed each of the training modules.
Staff members in certified positions are required to watch:
- Confidentiality of Student Information
- Discrimination, Harassment & Retaliation
- Identifying Signs of Sexual Abuse in School Children
- Standard Precautions for Avoiding Infections
- Student Discipline
Staff members in non-certified positions are required to watch:
- Confidentiality of Student Information
- Discrimination, Harassment & Retaliation
- Identifying Signs of Sexual Abuse in School Children
- Standard Precautions for Avoiding Infections
You may watch the videos at your convenience by logging in to your SchoolWires account. (If you experience trouble logging in to SchoolWires please contact Jan Lange at 659-3121). Once you have signed in, you can view the videos by selecting the "District Departments" drop-down menu, then selecting "Human Resources", and then finally the "Staff Training Videos" on the left side of the page. Once you have finished watching all required videos, you will log in to TalentEd Records and submit the completion form that is in your "Needs Attention" task list.
As a reminder, TalentEd Records functions best in Google Chrome. Your user name is your firstname.lastname and your password is what you use to log in to your computer each day.
Nuts and Bolts
Please close the K-1 pod doors after the AM walkers go out. We have kindergarten and first grade students wandering down to the pod before 8AM.
Infinite Campus grade books must be updated by the end of each Tuesday with the previous weeks grades.
