Teacher Transfer Window
From Amy Jo Troyer
Please share with your certified staff that the 2018-19 Teacher Transfer Window will be open from March 19, 2018 – March 30, 2018. To qualify for a transfer, a teacher must have completed 3 years of service in KCK by the close of the 2017-18 school year. Applications will be collected on the district employment application website, just as they were last year, and employees must have their accounts marked as internal to see the postings. Please note that more details will follow via email to the teachers and administrators directly as we get closer to that timeframe.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Amy Jo. Thank you!

Star Teacher Information
From Carlos Clay
The deadline for Star Teachers to have their packet submitted to me is almost here. With this in mind, I am requesting your assistance in giving a gentle reminder to your building’s nominee that they need to have all items in their packet submitted to me by the Thursday, February 8, 2018, deadline. Just in case you field any questions pertaining to the packet requirements or have a teacher ask you what specifically needs to be emailed back to me, I have included an at-a-glance list below of what needs to be included in the packet submitted to me by the deadline. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Packet Requirements
- Essay Requirement: Philosophy of Teacher (two double-spaced pages)
- A recommendation letter from a principal, Instructional coach or colleague who can speak to the nominee???s instructional ability, classroom practices and how they positively impact student learning in achieving our mission of becoming one of the top 10 school districts in the nation.
- Their completed nomination form filled out and signed by the nominee.
Thank you for all you do. Have a great day.
Snow Day CIS Entry
From Jody Mitchell
186 day Classified employees who utilize the Clock In System (CIS) to record time, currently have an entry for the snow day observed on January 16, 2018. The paid day accurately reflects the total number of hours worked by the employee???s specific position. Any timecards which have not been approved by the employee or Administrator should now be approved.
Refugee Forum
From Kristen Scott
Please see the attached flyer. I have also forwarded it to your ESL staff. They were informed that if they are interested in attending they would need your permission. If you have any questions please let me know.
Migrant Parent Input for ILPs
From Kristen Scott
Principals,
State guidelines for Migrant students require parent input on an ILP. The Secondary Migrant advocates will put gathering input from parents and placing that information into the dashboard.
Please notify your staff so they are aware that this information will be added. If you, or your staff, have any questions, reach out to the Migrant advocate assigned to your building or myself. Thank you.
