D.C. Everest Senior High School Staff Update
Weekly Happenings
Happy Homecoming!
I have to share. At our first home football game two weeks ago I looked in the stands following the game and saw about 5 students going row by row and cleaning the bleachers. After this Friday's game I saw more than 20 students. I asked one of the leaders if they were asked to do it and if not why were they doing it. Her response - "It was dirty."
We talk about culture - defined as behavior - One student, saw the bleachers dirty after the first game. We now have more than 20 cleaning the bleachers. This student exemplifies "leading from where you are." We all have influence over others - We are all leaders. I've been thinking over the impact that student has had by one small act - #EverestPride
Great work Joe Finnegan and anyone who donated to help provide funding for band students next Summer to travel abroad! https://www.waow.com/news/top-stories/donated-shoe-fundraiser-covers-cost-of-student-trip/article_6dd80780-3559-11ed-ae09-9b3947f223dc.html

The JH is beyond excited to re-engage in Adventure Day this year knowing it provides many of their students with opportunities they wouldn’t experience otherwise. The dates are October 19 and April 26. Knowing that transportation is a challenge due to a driver shortage, please avoid field trips for those days as much as possible.Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) - A reminder that temporary extension for Federal PSLF forms are due by 10/31/22. Staff requesting employment verification for PSLF can send forms to Riana Mefferd at rmefferd@dce.k12.wi.us.
Funeral Leave Codes in Skyward - Soon to be new in Skyward- in the unfortunate event that you need to request funeral leave, you will be prompted to select the appropriate code based on your relationship to the deceased and add a detailed description in the box. This will hopefully minimize your supervisor needing to contact you regarding details while you are on leave. A reminder that our employee handbook lists the exact number of days allotted per relationship.
