Frontline Absence Management Administrator Guides
From Amy Jo Troyer
As a follow up from our Principal’s Meeting on Friday, please see below and attached for Frontline/Absence Management Guides for Supervisors.
Please feel free to reach out to Stephanie Pepper or Amy Jo Troyer for more information or clarification on these guides.
Thanks!
1. Editing PD Absences – PD entries will default to being charged to the primary building or department assigned to the employee in Frontline. If another building or department should be charged for the PD absence, this guide will outline the steps required for you to edit a Professional Development absence to denote that. While the accounting code itself cannot be edited, the notes will be helpful to our teams to ensure proper coding.
2. Reconcile Absences – Reconciling an absence confirms your acknowledgement that the person was absent and also gives you insight into the details of the absence (Leave Type, Vacancy or Specific Employee, Sub Assigned, etc.) This guide will outline the steps required to reconcile absences.
3. Monthly Summary – Fill rates by building are available at any time through the Campus User dashboard for reports. This guide will outline the steps required to access the reporting section and run the Monthly Summary report.

Anniversary Pins
From Jody Mitchell
The district is revitalizing the Anniversary Pin Program for staff reaching a milestone work anniversary. At the end of each month, all locations will receive an interoffice envelope containing employee letters from Dr. Foust and the associated anniversary pins. This week, you will receive your letters/pins for employees who reached an anniversary from July 1st ??? Sept. 30th, 2018. Any employee who has reached a milestone in the past and did not receive a pin (5, 10, 15, 20, years etc.) can reach out to Michelle Lynn in the HR office.
Administrators will continue to disperse the letters and anniversary pins for their employees through way of special recognition. If you are in need of ideas how to recognize your staff, please reach out to the HR Directors for assistance. The HR staff will participate in the recognitions throughout the year, and will be in contact with you to gather specifics for your building/department.
Please contact HR with any questions. Thanks you!
