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.

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.

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.
