We
are cancelling the staff meeting this week. This should help to give you back
time since we will be meeting longer on April 27.
Staff Meeting Cancelled
Staff Attire
As the weather warms up, I wanted to remind everyone of our expectations for staff attire regarding shoes and tops. Our staff handbook states,
“You may
wear sandals, but they must have a strap on the back or a heel. Sleeveless
shirts and/or dresses are acceptable, but majority of your shoulders and back
must be covered, no thin straps.”
Intent to Return
Believe it or not, the time has come to think about next school
year! If
you are not planning to return to Keystone for the 2021-22 school year,
it will be very helpful for us to know now so that we have ample time to find a
suitable replacement. Remember, even if you are not planning on returning to
Keystone next school year, your 2020-21 benefits and pay will continue through
mid-August as long as you complete the school year.
If you are planning to return, keep in mind
that the admin team hopes to make final teacher placements by mid-May. Ideally, teachers will be placed into their
desired position, but sometimes changes are necessary to best meet the needs of
our students.
Please complete the
survey: https://forms.gle/RtmwU8fXs1tJ7qMe6 by Friday, April 16. If you have any questions or concerns, please speak with me as soon
as possible regarding your plans for next year.
Technology Usage
M-STEP
testing starts next week and goes until May 14. Due to bandwidth limitations,
students are NOT allowed to use technology during lunch or recess. In addition,
teachers CANNOT livestream instructional content, instead it must be
downloaded.
