Lockdown Reflections
- If you have multiple rooms (side rooms, backrooms, closets, etc.) in your assigned classroom, please make sure all lights are out in all areas.
- If you have your students hiding in a backroom or side room, please lock that door as well if you are able. It provides a second barrier.
Benefit Open Enrollment
Every employee needs to complete the online Benefit Enrollment Form to either waive or select benefits. Debbie Rhein and Jess Primus are available to walk you through the online Benefit Enrollment process. The elections are done through Skyward Oct 23 - Nov 14. Otherwise, there is an interactive process document located at this link that will guide you through previewing/filling out the online form.
Spousal surcharge reminder - staff with a spouse on an MPSD health plan will be charged the spousal surcharge unless there is a spousal surcharge form on file with the business office. A copy of the spousal surcharge form is located in the open enrollment resources folder. If you completed the form last year and there are no changes, you do not need to do this again.
Assembly November 2nd
Conference Information
All families will have the opportunity to meet with their child’s teachers in-person.
When: Thursday, November 16, 1:00-7:00 p.m.
How: Each 10-min conference will be pre-scheduled via Google Calendar Appointment Scheduler. Most conferences will be in-person in classrooms; conferences needing a translator will take place via a Google Meet. This will allow translators to better meet the needs of families at both Wilson and Washington conferences.
● The focus of each conference will be relationship building and encouraging engagement
● Each conference should consist of specific positive feedback & growth opportunities
● Conferences that reveal the need for admin support/follow-up will use the following form:
PT Conf. Feedback Fall 2023
● Jessica will help set up conferences by creating the appointment slots, assisting families and teachers with scheduling, and keeping a waiting list for families that are not available during open time slots.
● No signups will be accepted after 4pm on Wednesday, November 15 without teacher approval
● A taco bar dinner will be provided for all teachers and staff
