Cheyenne was our top candidate for the Program Assistant position left vacant by Jamie Park. Cheyenne will start in our department full-time on March 16th. Please welcome her to the department when you have an opportunity.

Here is what Cheyenne wanted to share with her new colleagues:

Hello everyone, my name is Cheyanne Davis and I am 19 years old. I graduated in 2018 from Eaton Rapids high school. I have a 10-month-old daughter named Nova. I was in 4-H for 7 years showing horses and I took away so much from it. I’m very understanding, and highly motivated and fun! I am also in college but I don’t know what I want to do yet. A couple of things I like to do in my free time is watch Netflix, read books, and play with my daughter

• Communication Reminders: District standards for e-mail is 24-hour response time to e-mails that should be replied to. This is a difficult standard during certain times of the year, but please make an effort to stay in these parameters as much as possible. Remember to proof-read external e-mails especially.
• Getting in touch with me: If you have something that requires attention the same day and we aren't going to see each other, send me a text. If your question/update can wait 24 hours, an e-mail works great!
• Expenses/Mileage: Due once per month. For example, turn in your March mileage/expenses by April 30th.
• In-State Conferences: These need to be turned in 3 weeks ahead of time to get the appropriate signatures and to work with the hotels on your overnight accommodations.
• Out-of-State and other Board Requests: Most full time, certified staff have the budget to attend ONE out-of-state conference this year (depending on costs) unless your grant suggests/requires additional conferences. These MUST be approved by the Board of Education per state law. In order for me to get them through the approval process, I need them at least 8 weeks in advance of the conference.
• Dept Dress Expectations: Be prepared for expected and unexpected meetings, district administrators in the building, state visitors, and others. Business casual works most days but remember to dress for the occasion.

Go to the people. Live for them. Learn from them. Love them. Start with what they know. Build with what they have. But within the best leaders, when the work is done, the task accomplished, the people will say, "we have done this ourselves"
