ICYMI: Return to In-person Work for Central-Support Staff |
As shared in this message from Superintendent Alex Marrero, central-support staff will begin a transition back to in-person work for central-support staff starting Monday, Aug. 16. During this transition, team members have some flexibility in their return to the office as we take time to continue to evaluate and determine the best course forward. For the first two months of this transition and evaluation time, team members can, with manager’s approval, continue to work remotely for 1 or 2 days per week.
Over the course of this initial two-month period, DPS leadership will continue to monitor and evaluate health conditions. Then, based on consultation with health partners and the review of remote-work flexibility, DPS leadership will make a determination as to whether to extend remote-work flexibility or proceed with a full return to in-person work for central-support team members on Monday, Oct. 19.

Upgraded Conference Room Tools at EGC and Acoma |
|
As in-person meetings resume, we're excited for team members to use our new and upgraded tools. At the EGC and Acoma buildings, large conference rooms will be equipped with Meeting Owl Pros, all-in-one devices with a camera, microphone, and speaker. Logictech MeetUps, which provide that same functionality, are available in EGC's small conference rooms (along with new TV monitors) and at Acoma. These new devices provide wide views of conference rooms and will track the talker, eliminating possible echoes so remote attendees can easily participate in meetings. Later this fall, be on the lookout for upgraded projectors (with wireless connection options) throughout EGC. If you have questions or want to request these devices for other administrative buildings, please contact DoTS.

New Process for LIFT and CCE This Year |
|
Infor HR will be decommissioned and will not be utilized for the 2021-22 performance cycle. Leaders will instead use the Growth & Performance Google Sheet Template to guide performance check-ins, document and progress monitor goals, and draft End-of-Year (EOY) appraisals. The formal EOY evaluation will be completed via a Google form with detailed instructions provided as that window approaches.
Next steps:
-
Review and get familiar with the Growth & Performance Google Sheet Template and prepare for your Beginning-of-Year conversations.
-
Set two to four goals (including one Equity goal) by Sept. 1.
- More information regarding the Equity Experience will be shared by CELT.
-
Review LIFT at a Glance for other important activities and timelines.
