MEALS FOR FAYE
As most of you know, Faye will have knee surgery this Monday
and be out until the first of the year. Many of the faculty and staff
have already asked how they can help Faye and Ricky during her
recovery, so I have created a Meal sign up, see link below. We wish
her all the best!
NEW TAKING ATTENDANCE PROCEDURE
Starting Monday, teacher will wait until 8:10am to take attendance.
This will allow time for any late bus arrivals and car riders to get to
breakfast and make it to class. This will also eliminate the need for the
“hold attendance” all call (crossing fingers : ) )
CLT
Next week’s plan is updated on the Thursday meeting calendar:
KRONOS TRAINING
All teachers (exempt employees) must complete the Kronos training.
Please complete this by Wednesday, November 6th.
Use this link: https://www.k12albemarle.org/acps/time-and-attendance
Go to the online training module section and watch the third one down:
Exempt Employees (Teachers) You may do it in multiple sessions, but it will
take about an hour. You need to complete certification at the end.
All Non-exempt employees (Teaching assistants) – We will be working
with the teachers to allot time for you to complete your training here at school.
More information to come in your mailboxes next week.
Important notes about the training modules:
- Non-exempt employees should be able to complete the module in
1½ hours.
- Exempt employees and teachers should be able to complete the
module in an hour.
- You may review your training module all at one time or take your time
over multiple sessions.
- You can revisit the training modules as often as you would like.
- Within your module, you may click on the sound icon on each slide,
which may be particularly helpful when there is a lot of information,
plus you have access to speaker notes that give more detail.
- On the last slide, be sure to verify that you completed the training.
HALLOWEEN COSTUMES
Please remind 1st-5th families that we do not dress up in costumes for
Halloween.
Wearing festive attire such as t-shirts,colors, headbands should be fine.
