End of Year Evaluation Closeouts
From Sherry Samples
It is very important that as we approach the end of the school year, that all evaluations showing as incomplete in Talent Ed Perform for your staff are completed and the process marked complete before the staff member leaves for the summer or leaves the district. For any that still remain incomplete, Kathryn or I will be contacting you for reasons that I can submit with my end-of-year report.
As a reminder, staff may sign and comment on any internet accessible device including a Smart phone 24/7. The employee does not need to be on a district computer.
Overall, I am pleased to say that the completion rate for evaluations has improved dramatically this year and I heard from several employees that they truly appreciated their evaluation as expected.
Thank you for your efforts!

Bond Work
From Dr. Kelli Mather
Principals, since the passage of the bond referendum, there has been a great deal of planning and design around 80+ individual projects. To improve communication with you all as building leaders, I wanted to let you know that Mark Stubbolo, Assistant Director of the Shop will be the point of contact for the bond projects. Mark will be putting out to all principals a brief weekly communication through the Administrators Notice about upcoming work in your schools. Mark will also communicate with individual principals as the work progresses. Mark???s cell phone number is 913-305-6368 if you have any questions or need clarification regarding work that is scheduled.
We will continue to work on our communication throughout the bond work, we hope you find this helpful. Feedback is always appreciated. Thank you in advance for your patience, support and flexibility as we complete all of the projects.
Truancy and McKinney-Vento Services for Students and Families
From Rosie Rodriguez and Kerry Wrenick
In preparation for the 2017-2018 academic year, it is our goal to ensure all district personnel are familiar with McKinney-Vento (homeless) and Truancy services provided to students and families. Many of our students struggle with circumstances outside of their control that impact their academic performance. Kerry Wrenick, McKinney-Vento Liaison and Rosie Rodriguez, Program and Prevention Specialist request time during your building professional development to inform staff of the resources and services available to students and families. As our district strives to become Diploma+, attendance is a key component to academic success. Please utilize the link below to indicate the best date and time for a 20-minute presentation during Wednesday Professional Development. This engaging presentation will equip your staff with tools necessary to meet the needs of our students and families.
