Teacher Transfer Window – Opens March 19
From Amy Jo Troyer
As a reminder, the Teacher Transfer Window opens March 19, 2018 and will remain open until 11:59 p.m. on March 30, 2018. A separate and more detailed notice will go out to teachers via email on the 19th.
To be eligible, teachers must have completed 3 or more years of service in KCK by the start of the 2018-19 school year and they must hold appropriate licensure for the position(s) they wish to be considered for.
Once applications are submitted, you may begin to receive candidates for consideration if you have open ATF’s in Talent Ed. If you select an internal candidate to recommend for hire, please follow the same, standard recommendation for hire protocol as you would for any hire.
Information needed for Welcome Center
From Kristen Scott
In order to streamline communication once the Welcome Center opens, tentatively on April 2nd, I am needing information from you. Please submit to me the names of those individuals in your building that will need notification that a new student(s) has enrolled and will be potentially starting the next school day. I am suggesting that you include all of your administrative staff, front office staff, registrars/secretaries that handle enrollment, and counselors. Please include first and last names as they are in the district’s email system. We will be creating building groups based on the information received.
Please submit information to Kristen Scott by Wednesday, March 28th.
Frontline Training for All IDP reps
From Shelly Beech
Below is the message that I sent to all IDP reps on Monday, March 19. We will be going live with our new Frontline Professional Growth System during the first week of April. Your IDP rep will be trained on how to enter activities and how to have your staff sign in to the activity. Please read below the message that was sent to your IDP rep.
I hope that you spring break was a good one and that you were able to get some rest and enjoy time away from work. This email is to inform you that we will be going live with our new Frontline Professional Growth system in April. We have scheduled a second training to be held for all of you. We know that the first training was not delivered as well as we had hoped and that you need to have more information. We have been working diligently to get the system ready and have set up pilot schools to begin this week.
During this training we will focus on how to enter an activity into the new system. Once we go live you will be entering the activity into the system and your staff will mark themselves present. We will also provide information that will enable you to train your staff on how to log in to the system and enroll in activities. Please bring a charged laptop.
Also one of the things that you will need to do by the end of the semester is enter all activities for the school year into the system. We are asking that you complete this task so that every staff member receives their points for attendance. This may seem like a cumbersome task but it will be fairly easy once you have the activity in and can mark names in the system. Any blue sheets that you have sent to our office will be given back to you to enter. We will discuss this more in our training on the 27th.
We have planned a training for all IDP reps on the following date and times:
- Washington/Schlagle Cluster Schools:
Tuesday, March 27 8:30-11:30 a.m. at Central Office – Rooms 131, 132, 133 - Harmon and Wyandotte Cluster Schools:
Tuesday, March 27 1:00-4:00 p.m. at Central Office – Rooms 131, 132, 133
Please enter your absence into AESOP as soon as possible. If you need assistance with AESOP/sub please contact Morgan Hunter at 866-923-6433.
We are looking forward to our training and the beginning of full implementation of the new Frontline Professional Growth System. If you have any questions, please contact Ana Perez-Sievert or Shelly Beech.
Vincent Legacy Scholarship
From Melissa Fears
Greetings from Starlight Theatre! As Starlight???s vice president of education and outreach,??I would like to ask your assistance in sharing information about an outstanding scholarship opportunity for ethnically diverse/minority middle-school students.??We are using several outreach efforts, including local media, to get information about Starlight???s Vincent Legacy Scholarship to teachers, parents and guardians of 6th, 7th??and 8th-grade students who are interested in the performing arts and may qualify for this financial-need-based scholarship.??And we???d love to have help from you, too!
The Vincent Legacy Scholarship was established by Starlight supporters Greg and Rebecca Reid. The Reids sought to provide minority youth who show performing arts talent the opportunity to further refine and improve their skills through professional instruction. The need-based scholarship will pay for $2,500 of instruction in the areas of singing, dancing and/or acting for each selected recipient, typically two winners per year. To qualify, students must demonstrate their performing arts skills, maintain a minimum B (3.0) grade point average, be free of unexcused school absences and demonstrate an interest in community service.
The deadline for application is next Monday, March 26, 2018, so please share this information as quickly as possible! We would greatly appreciate if you could include news of the Vincent Legacy Scholarship on your website and directly communicate/forward the information to clients, parents and guardians of middle school students served by your organization.
The attached flyer and news release provide additional details. Interested and qualified students may access the application materials at http://www.kcstarlight.com/education/vincent-legacy-scholarship.
