ASQ Reminder
from David Rand
This is a reminder that the deadline to complete the ASQ is Friday, September 20th. The ASQ is a state requirement and the goal is to have 100% of our parents complete the questionnaires. If your school has not yet started on the ASQ, I strongly recommend having a plan in place to get started immediately. We have noticed that some schools have had the parents complete only one of the two questionnaires (ASQ-3 or ASQ-2:SE); please note that we are required to give both questionnaires. Please see the attached document for directions to get a link for parents that will include both questionnaires. Also included in the attachment is how to get the link for just one of the surveys if parents have completed one, but not the other. If you have any questions regarding this information, or need any support around ASQ, please do not hesitate to contact Benjamin Price (benjamin.price@kckps.org or 913-627-5676). Thank you very much!!!!!!
Returning to Work Following a Leave of Absence
from Jody Mitchell
As a reminder, if an employee is absent for 5 consecutive days or greater the employee is required to submit a medical release from a health care provider stating that the employee has been medically cleared to duty. The medical release must be submitted at least one day prior to the employee???s return to work in order for HR to close out the information. Employees will receive a series of letters explaining the process, but can also contact the Leave team at 913-551-3219 with questions. Please note, failure to submit a medical release may result in a dock in pay or required use of additional leave time. Please see Board Policy GARH for more information.
