Information About Ordering Materials for 2017-18 School Year

From Suzie Legg
Please use the link below to access information regarding the ordering of student and teacher materials for the 2017-18 school year. This includes information for consumable student materials ordered each year as well as information for the addition of any grade level classrooms to your site.

I know we seem to ask for this information earlier each year, but I would ask that you provide the best information you have at this point. It is especially important to get requests in early so that we can get needed materials purchased and to your sites in a timely fashion.

Responses regarding consumable student materials are needed no later than Friday, February 17th. Classroom additions can be communicated at a later date if needed.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

February 15 Due Date for Evaluations

From Sherry Samples
As a reminder, please review your Talent Ed Evaluation list for those employees who have an evaluation due on February 15 as it is quickly approaching. An evaluation is only considered complete and having met the state established due date if you have met with the employee, the employee has signed the evaluation, and you have marked the process complete with the button in the lower right corner of the page. This last step is often overlooked.

If any employees have access issues they may contact the TIS help desk via email or by calling 279-2330.
