2017 STAR Teacher Nominations
From Amy Jo Troyer
The Star Teacher nomination process is a wonderful opportunity to recognize KCKPS teachers who ???Inspire Excellence: Every Grownup, Every Child, Everyday!??? As principals, we are asking that you solicit feedback from your staff on who they feel best exemplifies the traits of a STAR Teacher and then engage your building leadership team to establish a nomination and selection process. Once your leadership team has elected a representative as the nominee for your building, please submit your nominee???s name via email to andrea.ramirez@kckps.org, no later than Thursday, January 19th at 4.00 PM.
Similar to the criteria for the Kansas Teacher of the Year, your selection should represent the teacher who best exemplifies excellence in student learning and your school community. Specifically, your nominee should be:
??? An educator with strong pedagogy
??? An educator who is innovative, creative and has a growth mindset
??? An educator who is a positive influence on students and staff
??? An educator who is engaged in the community and professional affiliations
Evaluation Deadline Approaching
From Sherry Samples
All third year and beyond teachers and administrators on schedule for evaluation this year are to have an evaluation completed by February 15. The names are in Talent Ed Perform.
An evaluation is only considered complete by the deadline if all documents are complete or attached, you have met with the employee, the employee has signed off on the evaluation, and you have marked the process complete in Talent Ed Perform.
If there is someone whose evaluation you cannot complete on time, I need to know ahead of time the name and the reason so that it can be submitted along with the incomplete evaluations list.
Co-Teaching Training
From Jennifer Martin
The final opportunity for co-teaching training this year has been scheduled! It will take place on January 31st from 8:00 ??? 3:00 at Central Office room 131. The training is appropriate for teams of teachers who have not been to a prior training. It???s designed for co-teaching pairs. If you have a team where one has been trained and the other has not, then one person can attend.
The training is designed as an overview of the four approaches to co-teaching with an emphasis on scheduling, role clarification, lesson planning, and other logistical issues.

Re-Enrollment Training
From Lisa Garcia
All students will be asked to pre-enroll for the upcoming (2017-2018) school year. This process will allow the district to begin to gather in accurate count of how many students will be enrolled in the district next year, and which schools they will be attending. Parents will be asked to review the information electronically, make any necessary corrections, and submit the updated information.
It is the expectation key staff (Counselors, Registrars and Principal Secretary???s) are trained, informed and provided the necessary information to be prepared for re-enrollment. Please note the time and date for the training below:
