Principals:

If you have already checked your school's 2017 UEPC School Climate Surveys for accurate teacher and other licensed staff names, "Thank  you!" If you have not completed this task, please check your school's three 2017 UEPC School Climate Surveys to make sure the teachers' and other licensed staff members' names are accurate. Please complete this review by this Friday, Jan. 27, 2017. If errors are discovered, contact Alyssa Messina at UEPC no later than Friday, Feb. 3, 2017. Her email is alyssa.messina@utah.edu . Again, the links to the three surveys are:

 For a further review of the detailed preparations needed for the 2017 School Climate Surveys, I've attached a copy of the original communication sent to you on January 4, 2017.

Permit Input Dates

The window for the school choice Early Enrollment Period closes on Friday, February 17, 2017.  The law requires that parents receive written notice from the school by March 31, 2017.  The parent’s copy of the permit application serves as their written notice.

So that we can expedite Version 2.0 of the Estimates for the 2017-18 school year, we are asking that schools have all permits entered into Skyward by Friday, February 24, if at all possible.   If you can see that you will not be able to enter all of your permits by this date, please call Luann at 88251 so that she can adjust other schools’ numbers and come back to your school when you have had a chance to input the permits.

Please share this information with the individuals in your school helping with the permits.  If you have questions or concerns, please call Luann.  Your cooperation is greatly appreciated in an attempt to help make Estimate Version 2.0 as accurate as possible.

Thank you for your help with this process.

All schools are required to hold School Safety / Incident Command Committee Meetings, at least quarterly.  The District is required to maintain records of these meetings.  We have created an online Report of Safe School Meetings to replace the previous report form.

Here is the link :  https://goo.gl/forms/G5YTPLrFUZFHJ58G2

This report is found on the Auxiliary Services web site, under the tab Safety/Security/Risk Mgnt, pulldown menu item Reports/Forms/Documents.  You will no longer need to send a copy of your written report to Ron Boshard, Risk Management Coordinator. We hope this will make reporting your Safe School Committee Meetings easier and more efficient.  Please contact Peggy Margetts (x88753) with any questions.
