Jillian on Campus to Help with TTESS E-portfolio
Thursday, November 30th
I love that you are collecting and reflecting on your evidence in this way because it helps show our kids we have ePortfolios just like they do. It is small things like this that give relevance to our work in the classroom and a great opportunity to showcase your best moments in the classroom. I will be on campus Thursday, November 30th in the flex space. I would love for you to stop by if you need help updating, setting up, or designing your ePortfolio. I am also open to hearing your ideas and plans for Expo 2018. Please let me know if you need anything before then. I hope you have a relaxing break and a happy Thanksgiving!

TTESS Planning Calendar
TTESS Pre-conference Form
As we are finishing up our goal setting confernces, we can begin looking forward to TTESS observations. Below is the Pre-conference lesson planning form you will use during your TTESS Pre-conference. It also looks similar to last year, but we adjusted a few questions to ponder so they align better with our Problem of Practice and Instructional Focus.

Personal Day Reminder
Absences
Discretionary Personal Days must be approved prior to being put into AESOP. The form must be submitted to Cindy at least five days in advance for approval and once approved she will email you and then you can submit through AESOP to the principal. It is the teachers’/paraprofessional’s responsibility to make sure you still have discretionary personal days. If you do not have personal days left in your leave bank than you will be docked for the time off. Discretionary personal leave may not be taken for more than five consecutive days. District policy is located in the NISD personnel handbook or online.
No more than 5% of a campus staff can take discretionary leave on the same day.
Please read the District handbook if you have questions concerning Leaves and Absences. If you elect to take a sick day instead of a personal day please pay attention to the Medical Certification paragraph on page 26. The 5 days of absences do not have to be consecutive. http://www.nisdtx.org/departments/human_resources/employee_handbook/
