Staff Connection

We will host flu shot clinics for employees again this year.  Flu shots clinics will be held at school sites as well as the central office.  Clinics will begin on September 17 and will run through mid October.

Alisa Carver, Senior Administrative Assistant in the District’s Finance Department, was nominated by Mary Logan at Riverview Elementary and Tami Jantz at Escalante Middle School, who says “Alisa is professional, kind, and very helpful. I appreciate her fun personality and compassionate patience in answering questions no matter how many times you ask the same question.”

Shonda Chumley, a Roving Kitchen Manager for the Student Nutrition Services, was nominated by colleague Melody Moore, at Fort Lewis Mesa Elementary. Melody says "When I was unable to perform all my tasks due to an injury. Shonda stepped up to the plate and helped out."

Last year we released thousands of new Chromebooks into the hands of 9-R students. Since then, the IT department has been working to refine our existing systems and implement others to support them. The object of this work is to optimize Chromebook performance, make them easier and simpler to use, and ultimately make them more effective for learning.

We hope you are enjoying the last few days before the school year starts. On August 12, 2021, the Board did approve an extension of the dress code policy for required masking for all students and staff while indoors (unless otherwise permitted, such as during certain athletic activities). This is in conjunction with Advisories from SJBPH and the CDC.
