All Evaluations to Be Completed
from Shelly Beech
This is a reminder all certified and classified evaluations must be completed for the 2018-2019 school year. The final date for all evaluations to be submitted is June 1, 2019. Please make sure all information is submitted and marked complete. If you have a person who is on leave and will be unable to sign an evaluation by June 1, please indicate that on the evaluation form. The only reason an evaluation would not be able to be completed is because an employee is on leave. If you have this situation, please email Shelly Beech, shelly.beech@kckps.org, with this information.

REMINDER – School Websites
from Melissa Fears
This is a final reminder re: school website updates.
By May 31, all schools will have an active, up-to-date website.
In order to expedite this (as there are 48-49 school websites that have to be up-to-date and with matching website themes) , all schools must either update their existing sites (assuming that you or your school webmaster(s) have access to your existing site), OR send Mike Keener a Word Document with all requested information/data (and any necessary photos) no later than Thursday, May 16, 2019.
When you’ve finished updating your website, email Mike Keener once you have updated your existing site, so he knows it’s ready to go live with the new design.
Attached here is a Word Document outlining what we need for each school’s website, in case you have not yet received it.
If you are having issues with adding pages/content to your existing site, feel free to contact Mike Keener and send him what you need to be added to your site.
Lastly, thank you to the schools that have already sent their information/data.
Reminder Re: Photography for Graduation
from Melissa Fears
The KCKPS Communications Department will have a representative at each graduation this year. This representative will be taking photos for the district???s website and social media accounts to be used for marketing and journalistic purposes. As a reminder, the Communications Department will not be taking individual graduation photos for students and cannot, as the department does not have the equipment or extra personnel to properly do so.
As before, secondary principals are responsible for hiring and arranging for individual students??? graduation photos.
HR Update: Recommending Candidates for Hire
from Amy Jo Troyer
The busy hiring season is upon us! As a reminder, to recommend a candidate for hire, please be sure to follow these steps:
1. Forward back to the appropriate HR Advisor the Talent Ed email you received notifying you of the candidate application
2. Delete the entire subject of the email and change the subject to ???PLEASE HIRE???
3. In the body of the email, please confirm the certified grade level, certified core content area or classified position details if not included in the original posting, who the candidate would be replacing* and any special notes (such as extra days, stipend, schedule, etc.) that would be helpful to the Advisor when making the offer. (*For new allocations, simply indicate as such.)
A PDF (with screenshots) is attached to guide you through this process as well.
Recommendations should be sent to the following:
??? Angela Monroe ??? All Classified Hires
??? Ariel Kittling ??? All Certified Hires + Coaches
