It is time that you'll be getting your performance ratings for SY 00-01. You may grieve a performance rating that is not up to your expectation. However, I caution that you'll need excellent proof of exceeding standards and, by contract, we cannot arbitrate performance evaluations that are satisfactory or better. So, grieving performance evaluations it can be an exercise in futility, if you do not have some excellent supporting documentation. So, you'll need to be ready.
Time does stop over the summer vacation, but better to be ready.
It is not supposed to be any extra work, just what you already have for these special needs students. More direction as soon as it is received. These last weeks of the year are certainly a time that brings out the worst in some of us. Seems everyone is short tempered and trying to do too many things at once. Please do support each other, and add a little extra kindness to messages.
