Meet Our New Substitute Teachers
We are fortunate enough to have several new substitute teachers joining our team this year. Our substitutes wanted to me to share that they love when you enter information about your absence directy in Frontline. They love when sub plans are shared that way as well so they can prepare. Please take a moment to click the link below to learn more about some of our new subs.
Employment Eligibility Audit
In the month of October and November Human Resources will be conducting an Employment Eligibility Verification and EEOC Demographics Audit.The reason for this audit is to make sure each employee has an up to date I-9 form and is properly reported to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. If your form is in need of updating, HR will send you a list of documents to produce, typically a non-expired Driver's License or Social Security Card. Thank you for your cooperation with this process.
Certificated Unit Reviews
In the month of October HR will be reviewing all all new additions to units for column advancement. If you believe you have a new unit total, please send a reminder email to Kelly. If you do move columns you will receive an offical letter and the change will be reflected on your October paycheck retroactive to 7/01/2023.
As a reminder the whole process for applying units to your salary placement are below.
Fill out the Request for Credit form. This form goes to your supervisor for preapproval of courses.
Take the approved course.
Fill out the Unit Application Form to apply these pre approved units to your form. You will attach any transcripts to this form. (Please do not send transcripts to the DO 😃)
HR will send you a copy of your units worksheet with the units applied to your worksheet.
