Friday, December 6 is a staff development day for all licensed staff. Folks will be focused on CAREIALL work or their alternative plan. There is a scheduled live zoom from 7:45-9:45 and all modules from unit 4 should be completed by that morning.

However, since this was originally a "FLEX Day" it is not included in the dedicated work days that were guaranteed to paraprofessionals through the Meet & Confer process. As a result, paraprofessionals do not need to report to work that day. Also:

• January 10 is a staff development/CAREIALL day that IS a work day for paras
• February 14 is a staff development/CAREIALL day that IS NOT a work day for paras

I completely understand how busy everyone is this time of year and how much is on everyone's plate. That said, I want to remind everyone to put forth their best effort on the CAREIALL work we will be doing together on Friday. Our collaborative learning around best practices in literacy development are having a significant and systematic impact on our school and the learning of our students. It is happening! Don't lose focus! Let's keep the momentum going!

I appreciate everyone's commitment to this ongoing professional development.

Thank you to Christine Sell and the rest of that team for leading a thoughtful discussion around the future of our annual showcase. In case you missed it (or wanted a refresher) you can click here to see what each group shared in response to some thought provoking prompts.

If you are injured on the job you should call the SFM work injury hotline at 855- 675-3501 as soon as possible after sustaining the injury. You can call anytime 24/7 including weekends and holidays. You will talk to a nurse at SFM. They will document details of the injury and recommend treatment options. If/when you ever have to do this, please send Shawn an email as well to let him know that the incident occurred and how it occurred.

If you are interested in partnering with Community Education to run an enrichment class or club for youth or adults during the Summer of 2025, proposals are due January 15, 2025!

What a partnership with Community Education looks like:

• We work with you to establish dates, times, price, budget, and reserve all necessary facilities.

• We advertise classes and clubs on our website, social media, email, school newsletters, and our Community Education Fall Catalog (which is mailed to 12,000 Farmington Area Residents and Businesses).

• We can manage supply orders for your class and will process all hiring and payroll through the district’s HR.

• We also manage all registrations and fee collections, customer service for participants, and help manage any other logistics related to the class!

• Classes and Clubs receive a 70/30 partnership, which means:
• 70% of the revenue goes towards supplies and instructors of the class (this includes payroll tax).
• 30% of the revenue from the class goes back to the district to cover facilities and administrative costs.
