Business Meeting for Administrative Assistants

Last spring, we held our first business meeting for administrative assistants.  We appreciated the great attendance at these meetings and the suggestions for topics that we received.  In our continuing effort to provide a forum for administrative assistants to receive applicable information and training, we have scheduled another set of business meetings to be held:

Monday, January 11, 2016 – 1:00-3:00 p.m.

Friday, January 22, 2016 – 9:00-11:00 a.m.

The meetings will be held at the District Office in room 129.  As before, this meeting is voluntary and not required; however, we hope you will take advantage of this specialized training.  The meetings are also open to administrators and/or others that may benefit from the topics to be presented.

The topics that will be discussed in these sessions are geared more towards school-related matters, but District administrative assistants are welcome to participate.  These topics include:

  • ID badge protocol
  • Accounting: journal entries, school budgets, 1099s, etc.
  • School Skyward Financial Reports
  • Field trip ins and outs
  • Human Resources: Substitutes in Aesop

If you plan to attend, please choose one of the two dates that will work best with your schedule and send an email to Jeri Clayton (jeri.clayton@jordandistrict.org) to let her know which date you will attend so that we can plan for the number of attendees at each session.  You can also call Jeri at 801-567-8120.

We look forward to seeing you at these meetings in January.  Enjoy the upcoming winter break.

Opportunity for Part-time Classified Employees to Drive School Buses

In an effort to meet the District’s need for additional bus drivers (AM & PM), part-time classified employees are now able to work additional hours as substitute bus drivers.

Allowed Hours
Employees currently working part-time at your location are now allowed to work up to 27 hours per week as follows:

  • Current classified employees who are scheduled to work between 8 and 19 hours per week at your location will now be able to work additional hours as a bus driver to a maximum total of 27 hours per week.
  • Current classified employees allowed to work additional hours as a bus driver will not be allowed to work additional hours at the school location for any reason.
  • Current classified employees must provide their school work schedule to Charlene Arko in transportation and will not be allowed to alter their school schedule to work in transportation.
  • Current classified employees working additional hours as a bus driver are without contract or benefits.

Transportation is required to monitor and limit driver hours based on their maximum allowable hours provided by Human Resources when they are hired.  Monthly audits will also be conducted.

Application
Interested current part-time employees must submit an online application through Skyward to be considered.  A specific posting for current employees is currently available through Employee Access.  Employees must be at least 21 years old to drive a bus.

Training
Employees are required to complete the required training, including CDL training, prior to driving.  Training classes are scheduled monthly throughout the year.  See the attached employee notification for training details.

Advertisement
The attached announcement will be emailed to eligible employees in November notifying each of this opportunity, along with the training requirements.  We also ask for your assistance in communicating this information to current eligible part-time employees.

The 2015-16 Emergency Procedures and Contacts manual (commonly known as the "Red Book") will be shared with you on Google Drive in an effort to keep this critical information readily available.  You should have already received hard copies of the manual through district mail. We believe that sharing the manual electronically, in a safe manner, makes it even more accessible if needed.
At this time, only JSD administrators have been included.  In the event you would like to share the manual with your administrative assistant and/or head custodian, please email a request to share to Peggy Margetts at peggy.margetts@jordandistrict.org.  Also, if your current contact information changes, please send Peggy updates immediately so she can keep the contact information as current as possible.  Feel free to contact Peggy at 801-567-8753 with any questions.
