Spring Thoughtexchange Process Begins Today - Teachers Encouraged to Have Students Participate
|
 |
In our spring Thoughtexchange process, we are excited to gather broad input on our Career and College Pathways program. Invitations to participate will be e-mailed out to staff and parents today. These e-mails have been getting caught in the Clutter folder, so please check your Clutter folder if you do not receive the e-mail! Also, teachers (especially at the high school level) are encouraged to consider having their students participate in the process (approximately 15 minute commitment), as student voice has been a missing component for us. A guide to facilitating students' participation is available here.

Form 1095 Mailed to Eligible Staff Members
|
 |
The Affordable Care Act requires all employers to provide a 1095 Tax Form to employees that were eligible for healthcare benefits during the 2015 tax year. The forms are for employees' records only as required by the IRS and are not required to be filed with taxes for 2015.
The District mailed the forms to your home last week and we expect to have them available this week in the iVisions portal under "Employee Resources/Compensation." Please see the IRS web site at www.irs.gov for more information.
