Spring iPad Hand-in Expectations
|
|
As we near the end of the school year, please review the spring iPad check-in expectations:
- Tech TOSAs will contact students who have an iPad that have not connected to WiFi in more than two weeks. Lists will be provided. If the iPad is not in use, it can be collected immediately.
- Schools should use robocalls and letters to encourage families and students to return the devices.
- Continue to collect and process broken devices. This helps avoid inventory shortages.
For additional information, please see the respective hand-in checklists for your building level:

Teacher Development & Evaluation (TD&E)
Peer Collaboration Substitute Allocations for 2019-20
|
|
Starting in school year 2019-20, substitute allocations for Teacher Development & Evaluation (TD&E) Peer Collaborations will be based on cycle information recorded in PeopleSoft from the last reported summative evaluation.
Tenured educators in substitute eligible positions with a summative review date of June 30, 2021 are up for 'peer collaboration' during the 2019-20 school year. Substitute allocations will be budgeted for and provided to schools for these educators. Specific allocation amounts will be communicated to principals in August.
Administrators who have direct reports connected to them in PeopleSoft can export a list of TD&E tenured evaluations that reports the next review dates. Directions are included
here.
