Team Member Site-Based Recognition Programs
As part of the district's strategic plan's focus on effective employees, each school, program, and district worksite recognizes outstanding team members on a regular basis. Please help us honor outstanding staff by submitting a nomination.
Nominations may be submitted by anyone for any staff member (except members of the nominee's family) from any school or support location. Please include in your nomination as much detail as possible about what makes the nominee deserving of recognition. Thank you for helping us to promote the qualities we desire of all team members by honoring teachers, support staff, and principals who model leadership and teamwork, champion students of all backgrounds and abilities, and inspire everyone around them to always do their best!
