Dee Hobbs gave the PPC a detailed explanation of the onboarding process for new employees:

Dee Hobbs gave the PPC a detailed explanation of the onboarding process for new employees:
- Onboarding consists of the New Hire being contacted by email from the business office giving the information about their position, clocking in and out, login information for email, retirement benefits, and background checks. The HR packet of information also includes the Sick Leave Policy, Salary Schedule, and Contract work dates. HR paperwork is sent through our Onboarding setup in Winocular (application system). Forms pertinent to the employees are given at this time. Verification of Experience for placement on the salary schedule is sent electronically through Winocular to previous employers listed on the application and then verified by the business office when returned electronically. Para Pro testing is verified if needed for the position. The New Hire is sent the Frontline Absence login information for absences in a separate email. New Hires are contacted by Sherri Whitehead regarding insurance benefits. The position training is done at the building level. Any concerns should be handled by the building Principal or Supervisor and a grievance can be filed per policy. The Springdale School District's website is available to all employees to navigate and Search for information needed. (Dee Hobbs)
- Forms aren’t translated into Spanish, but translators are available at the business office.
- Make sure ALL classified staff know their username and password. (This information is given during the hiring process) If staff don’t know how to access their email contact their supervisor or Building Technology Technician
- Make a short video tutorial on how to check your email that can be sent to new hires
- Promote the use of email with drawings and prizes
- Ask supervisors and building admin to encourage employees to check their email and use it as the main form of communication with employees
- Please make sure you are using your school email address when signing up for giveaways. Several requests submitted were done with incorrect email addresses and that causes issues during pick up
