Professional Development & Flex Days
Based on our district calendar, each employee must complete four (4) days of professional development to take the place of the Flex Days. Several of you will be attending the Revolutionizing Learning Conference over the next couple of days while others have been involved in Summer Professional Development throughout the break. New Employee's will be attending the New Employee Orientation to get three (3) of the days completed. All staff members are required to completed the Online Compliance Training which will count has one (1) day for Flex Days. Below is the original email our Safety Administrator shared with us previously:

You will see that certified staff have 5 hours of online compliance training. All certified staff should be receiving a link from your campus principal, through iAct, for a one hour online refresher for T-TESS. These courses will start on May 31st and end on August 8th. They will reopen during our flex days so if you don't finish them this summer, you may complete them during any flex days.



TTESS Refresher (Teachers/Librarian)
If you've been evaluated on TTESS previously, this course is simply a one (1) hour refresher. Those of you that are NEW Teachers and haven't received the TTESS training will have a different course to complete your training. This is for returning teachers ONLY.
