Dear Colleagues,
Temps...
Great news! In a conversation with Myrna Vallely, Assist. Superintendent of Human Resources, 59 temporary teachers will soon move into probationary status. Over the course of the next week these teachers will be notified by administration of their change in status. The move from temp to prob status is determined by seniority and credential(s).
Insurance Survey...
Each teacher should have received an insurance survey via district email. Be sure and submit your responses by next Tuesday, October 7th, 4 PM. Kudos to Myrna Vallely on her first attempt at putting together the insurance "Survey Monkey".
Campaign Reminders...
*No campaigning during paid work hours
*No usage of school copying machines, emailing, mail boxes, telephones
*Duty free lunch hour & before & after the 7.5 hr work day is acceptable time for political action
