HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!!!
CLINARD GRANTS-Thank you to all who have already applied for these grants. We are very fortunate to be one of the four schools eligible for this grant. Tomorrow, February 15th is the last day to submit the grant. Click on the letters NPR below to see a write-up from NPR and the words Clinard Grant to get to the application. Good Luck Everyone!
We are on NPR - Click the link to see a story on the Clinard Grants. Remember they are due on the 15th of February.A Message from Theo Helm to clear up the question: "So when do we make these snow days up?"
It depends on whether/how much more snow we get this winter, but
right now it looks like students will finish June 13, and then teachers will
have eight workdays following (June 16-20 and June 23-25). Those are the four
that were already scheduled, the two that get moved because Feb. 17 and April
21 will be student days now, and two that became workdays after the first two
student days didn't have to be made up. (If they worked either/both of the
optional teacher workdays on Jan. 30 and 31, then obviously they wouldn't work
June 24/25.)
Teachers and most other 10-month employees are required to work
215 days, which includes 180 student days, 14 workdays, 11 holidays and 10
leave days. Because students are not making up the first two snow days,
teachers will now work 178 student days and 16 workdays. If they count the days
in the calendar, they'll see they're still working the same 194 days.
As for TAs and PRTs, those who work 208 days will now work
178 student days and 9 workdays. Those who work 202 days will now work 178
student days and 3 workdays. We haven't slotted those workdays yet, but I would imagine
they'll be the first couple after the last student day.
Please Remember to Support the Arts! See Amanda if you have questions:)
