Better Business Bureau Student Video Contest

From Jennifer McGlothen
The Better Business Bureau Student Video Contest is coming soon to the Kansas City metropolitan area! This is an interactive contest designed to engage your students and encourage the creation of high quality, usergenerated video content. We???re reaching out to see if your school would be interested in joining the contest!

How Does the BBB Student Video Contest Work?

Teams of individual students from select schools will create videos that represent the BBB???s chosen theme. Students will compete based on quality of video production, delivery of the theme and key messages, and promotion and marketing of the videos. Once the students submit the videos, initial entries will be judged on their ability to follow the contest guidelines. Then, students will be judged on their ability to market and increase votes on their video. BBB will score the top videos and select judges/professionals and a winner will be chosen.

The contest takes 4-6 weeks and is supervised by teachers. It???s a quick, turnkey curriculum that ensures teachers won???t have to spend excessive time apart from their already busy schedules to supervise students. The teachers are there to offer guidance, but are not required to move the curriculum forward.

This contest is a great way to give students who are interested in video production and advertising a chance to strengthen and improve their skills. The BBB Student Video Contest gives them real life experience in communication and marketing, while also being a great extracurricular feature on college applications. After the contest complete and judges have made a decision, prizes will go out to those who finish in the Top 4. The majority of winnings will go toward equipment donation to winning schools. The remainder will be cash prizes for contest winners. The prizes are as follows:

• First Place: $2,000 – Donation of equipment of school???s choice; $500 cash/gift cards to the winning video
• Second Place: $1,000 – Donation of equipment of school???s choice; $250 cash/gift cards to 2nd place video
• Third Place: $750 – Donation of equipment of school???s choice
• Fourth Place: $500 – Donation of equipment of school???s choice

For more information on the BBB Student Video Contest, and to watch example videos from previous years, please visit the website at https://www.bbbvideocontest.org/kansas-city/

To register your school, go to https://www.bbbvideocontest.org/kansas-city/student-schools/

Important Information About the Employee Online Web Portal

From Brad Isnard

The following message was sent to all staff Wednesday afternoon. Please ensure all 186 day staff are aware of the current limitations of Employee Online. It is very important that staff who need to make address or withholding changes do so before they leave for Summer Break, because they will not be able to access Employee Online from their home computers. The email sent to employees included copies of W-4 and K-4 documents and instructions to update withholding allowances manually if necessary, but in order to keep the volume of requests manageable, as many as possible must be submitted through Employee Online.

Original email:

To all staff:

Some time ago, we let you know about a temporary change in the way you access Employee Online. With the end of the school year now here, the Payroll Department would like to share an update, as well as a temporary workaround for some common Employee Online tasks.

Due to a necessary security upgrade, the Employee Online system was temporarily pulled behind the District???s firewall. This limits access to the system to only those on our internal network, or that of the Public Library. We have been working closely with the TIS department and our software vendor to perform a system upgrade as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, the upgrade process will not be completed until after the 5/31 payroll date.

We know this is an inconvenience to our colleagues, especially those who will be out of their building for summer break. In an effort to make this process as smooth as possible for everyone, the Payroll Department will be mailing out paycheck stubs for all employees. If you have recently had a change of address and need to update this in the system, please do so before leaving for summer break. Similarly, if you need to make changes to your tax withholding for the 6/15/18 check, please do so before leaving for the break.

If any staff member is not able to update their withholding from their building, we have attached a copy of forms W-4 and K-4. You may fill these out and turn in to the payroll office in person, email to payroll@kckps.org, or fax to 913-551-3264.

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and greatly appreciate your patience as our software company completes this upgrade. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reply to this email. We will send another update to all employees as soon as external access has been restored.

Best regards,
The Payroll Department
