- Share Point
Specialists: Please check your Sharepoint access. According to Steve, everyone should have viewing access to the DSP summaries that we looked at in our RSS meeting. If not, make a list of who either can't get into Sharepoint or who can't view. Remember, Sharepoint doesn't like Apple products. Email me one list please and I will forward to the correct person [yet to be identified].
- Power Standards
Lots of systems are looking at Power Standards. Because of my work with Piedmont, I've done some research, read a book and put together some slides. I'm going to dropbox that to you so you can be familiar with teachers are referring to Power Standards.
- Specialits: Please begin with January printing out your Google Calendar and staple it to the "days worked" for you submit to Lynn. Make sure both match and you have submitted any leave forms required.
- K-5 Science specialist, I emailed you information from Sandy Ledwell on YOUR TTT for the safe kits. At this time there is not a TTT planned for teachers to my knowledge. This is so you can train kits that you are not currently trained.
- Please, please, please, please remember to "invite Kay and Tanya" to any event that will take you out of the office/school regardless if it is NCD, annual leave, sick leave, using time spent/worked during summer training, etc.
- If your event is after hours (after 3:30 or 4:30 depending on whether you arrive at 7 or 8) then we do not need to be invited.
- I can not stress the importance of this enough. This is very important.This has to become a habit for everyone. The invites need to be in advance and not last minute unless something comes up.
- Please keep your calendar updated at least weekly. As soon as you know you are going to need to be out of the office, please place it on the calendar.
- Please remember, if an emergency keeps you from work, please text or call Kay AND Tanya then update your calendar accordingly.
- Happy Friday!
- Tanya
