Thank you all for your patience and cooperation during NJSLA testing! It's over!!!!
Reminders
Final Exams
I have confirmation from Dr. Parent that we can use either Canvas or Google Classroom for the final exams. If you are not proficient in using the new test-lock feature on Google Classroom, we have a few staff members who can assist.
Please make sure all Exams for this year are loaded into our shared Google Team Folders by May 15th.
Ashley White has offered to help us with training for Google Lock Mode. Please contact her to arrange a time to meet.
Document Logs
Dr. Parent has just confirmed the date for Doc Log submission - May 17th.
PLC Certificates
Stop by my office and pick up your PLC hour certificates. They are on my desk. I will leave the door open during the day in case I am not in my office. I will not hunt you down, so please come pick them up.
PD Hours in MyLearningPlan
I will review this at our next meeting, however in the meantime...
When you go into "My Portfolio" in MyLearningPlan, you can see your PD hours calculated and listed for the past few years. Some items are automatically stored - an example of this are things like the PD videos that you watch and complete the corresponding quizzes for. They dump in once you complete it.
If you have certificates for workshops, you can enter them into your doc log as artifacts, but it will not pull those hours you may have received from the activity and store them in "My Portfolio." In order to have them show in "My Portfolio," you would need to enter them into "Historical PD Record" and upload the document there. You can do both if you want to use a certificate as an artifact in the doc log, but if you want the hours to show in the list, you have to enter them into "Historical PD Record."
I will explain this in more detail at the meeting...
ED FOUNDATION MINI-GRANTS
All PCTI educators are invited to submit proposals for “innovative ideas and practices” to enhance the classroom experience for PCTI students. The Education Foundation will award grants ranging from $250 - $1,000 to PCTI educators to assist them in developing their proposals and achieving their goals for the upcoming 2019-2020 school year. In the past, we have received grants for Museum trips, literature/poetry festivals, author visits, etc...
Guidelines:
• Proposals must be submitted by May 24, 2019, to the Superintendent’s office, and addressed to the attention of Mr. Albert Alexander, President of the PCTI Education Foundation.
• Proposals must include: teacher’s name, course name, description of the proposal, amount requested, goals and expected outcomes to be achieved.
• Please complete the attached mini-grant expense form and send with your proposal.
• Proposals should not exceed two pages.
No purchases other than the items requested in your grant proposal will be funded through the grant. Grant award money cannot be combined with funds in program’s budget.
For more details, see the email from Sandy Woods dated Tuesday, April 30th.
* If you need a sample of how to format your grant request, let me know and I will send you one that I was successful with.
Department Supply Duty
I would like to add another person to our supply duty for next year. If you are interested, email me.
SENIOR OBLIGATIONS
On Friday morning (4/26) the following email will be sent to the attached list of seniors who have an outstanding obligation to the district. There is nothing for you to do on your end other than to reiterate that we are no longer accepting cash, checks, or money orders for obligations.
This same process will be used for all underclassmen, too. The goal is to have nearly every family on K12 Payment for lunch payments, district obligations, and other future uses.
Be advised – I automatically remove locks, ID, and library fines from the obligations list. I am not holding a diploma hostage for $4.00 or $5.00.
Dear <<First Name>>,
According to school records, you have one or more outstanding obligations due to the district. As you are aware, all obligations must be paid in full prior to graduation on June 21. Any graduating senior with outstanding obligations will not receive their diploma on graduation night.
In order to pay your obligation(s) follow these steps:
1. Go to K12 Payment Center
2. If you or your parent(s) do not have an account set up, you or your parent(s) must create an account
3. Your obligation fee and what the fee is for will be visible
4. Pay your obligation via credit card or debit card
5. Retain the email receipt that is sent to you
Be informed that we will not be accepting any cash, check, or money order transactions for obligations due. All obligations must be paid via K12 Payment Center.
