Mount Elden Minutes

Thank you everyone for an amazing day of collaboration last Friday! Everyone worked so hard to get all the things done that we needed too. Teams worked together during Team CTs and completed items on the Q2 checklist. Department CTs did a great job on the PBO plan and had wonderful conversations around the PBO work we are doing.

Great job TEAM MEMS!

BLACKOUT DATES AND PROTOCOLS

As a reminder, the days before and after a holiday (see below) are blackout dates for ALL staff. (Classified, certified, and ancillary) You must have principal pre-approval if you must call off for extenuating circumstances. Please don’t plan a trip without prior approval. Thank you for understanding.

“Personal leave will not be granted on unless you receive pre-approval from principal.: 1) the day prior or subsequent to any scheduled holiday, 2) the first or last instructional week of the school year, 3) Parent/Teacher conference days, 4) make-up snow days, 5) testing days for test administrators and proctors, and 6) district wide staff development days.”

Any day we are above the 10% threshold. When we hit the 10% threshold, I will then need to deny. It is very helpful when you secure a sub.

Upcoming Blackout Dates Include:

December 20

January 6

OVER 10% thresh hold:

DEC 13
