The Classified Evaluation System has been moved from JPLS to Skyward. The evaluations will be accessed from Skyward Employee Access. Classified employees will no longer be required to complete a self-evaluation. Evaluators will begin the evaluation process and will complete the process by meeting with the employee to review and electronically sign the evaluation. Once the evaluation process is complete, the employee and evaluator will receive a confirmation email. A set of step-by-step instructions is included and will also be available from the JES website. For technical questions, contact the Information Systems Help Desk at 801-567-8737; otherwise, contact the JES Office at 801-567-8369. A schedule of work sessions to review the evaluation process is also included.

Administrators and teacher leaders are invited to the 2017 Learning Edge Conference. “The Arts: A Renaissance of Relevance” is scheduled for November 14, 2017 at the Provo Marriott Hotel & Conference Center. See attached flyer for more information. The Curriculum Department will pay the registration fee for one administrator from each building. Contact Amanda Hansen before November 5 if you are interested in attending. Spots are filling quickly!

SUBJECT:
Change of Schedule for Spring Break


A week-long spring break is scheduled for the 2017-18 school year. Students and teachers at both traditional and year-round schools, as well as staff on a 10-month/206-day classified contract or a 225-day licensed contract, will be out of school Monday-Friday, April 2-6, 2018.

Currently, employees on a 12-month/242-day or 12-month/245-day contract are scheduled to work Monday-Wednesday (April 2-4) and off on Thursday and Friday (April 5-6). With Easter falling on April 1st, we are implementing a change in the employee calendar to accommodate time off closer to the holiday. Employees in these two groups will have Monday and Tuesday, April 2-3, for spring break and will return to work on Wednesday, April 4th and work through Friday.

If anyone in your department has already made plans based on being off April 5-6, please work with them to resolve any hardship this change may cause them.
