Pay Lane Changes
Just a friendly reminder that anyone who expects to qualify for a pay lane change during the 2012-13 school year MUST submit a letter of notification to the Human Resources office no later than June 1, 2012, in order to qualify.  Contract language below:

"All adjustments to salary to which a teacher shall become entitled as a result of additional training shall be effective at the beginning of the payroll period succeeding the date of completion of the course, provided the teacher had notified the Superintendent or his designee, in writing prior to the preceding June I, of his intention to complete the additional training."
Summer Activities

Renew Licenses As Soon As Possible!
Teachers and administrators whose licenses expire prior to the start of the next school year should renew as soon as possible to avoid the summer rush. It is not necessary to wait until the current license expires to renew.  There is no benefit to delaying renewal up to the expiration date. 

If your license does not expire until after the 2012-13 school year begins, you may wait until then to renew, in order to get the maximum amount of validity time out of your license.  A license that is valid at the beginning of the school year remains valid for the entire school year, regardless of expiration date. 

You MUST have a valid license by the beginning of the school year in order to receive a contract.  All licenses are renewed on line.  You must have an active profile on the State's LVIS website in order to apply.  Help and training information on how to renew can be found on ERO.
Alcoa Foundation Grant
The Warrick County School Corporation received a $20,000 grant from the Alcoa Foundation for a Mathematics Instruction Enhancement Program.  Math kits were purchased for each Kindergarten and first grade classroom.  Grant funds were also used to allow teachers time to collaborate and plan hands-on math activities.  Thanks Alcoa!
Immunizations
Reminder:  Student immunization records are required.  Parents should submit student immunization records to the school or contact the school nurse to confirm pending immunization appointments. 
 
Immunization requirements are outlined in the following document.  Immunization Requirements

Sharon Library Summer Hours
Beginning Friday, June 1st the Sharon Elementary School Library will be open from 9am -noon!  We will open each Tuesday and Friday during the summer months.  This will be a time for students to take AR tests, do crafts, and check out books from our library.  We have a large number of kindergartners that have recently started taking AR tests and it would be great if they could continue to grow their reading skills throughout the summer months. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 853-3349 or email me at dhutcheson@warrick.k12.in.us

New Meal Charge Policy
The Warrick County School Corporation has an essential role in the lives of students by
providing them with a foundation for healthy living and learning. The WCSC Food and
Nutrition Department makes affordable, healthy, and nutritious breakfasts and lunches available.  It is the responsibility of a student’s parents to provide meals either by supplying food from home, by sending money to school so that the school may supply a meal, or by applying for meal assistance through the free and reduced meal programs. Therefore, the following rules apply:
ADULTS are not permitted to charge food or drink.
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS are not permitted to charge food or drink.
MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS AND TJHS STUDENTS may have an occasional need
for assistance with their meal funds. Meal charges are strongly discouraged; but,
managing money is a part of the learning process. Therefore, middle school students and
TJHS students may charge up to $10.00 to his/her meal account. After the $10.00 limit
has been reached or after the account debt remains unpaid for 30 days, no meals and no
alternative meals will be provided. When an account debt is $10.00 or remains
uncollected for 30 days, the account will be turned over to the school corporation
attorney for collection. Alacarte items (except milk) will not be sold to students with a
negative account balance.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS may have an occasional need for assistance with
their meal funds, also. Meal charges are strongly discouraged; but, managing money is a
part of the learning process. Therefore, an elementary student may charge up to $20.00
to his/her meal account. After the $20.00 limit has been reached or after an account debt
remains unpaid for 30 days, the student will receive an alternative meal consisting of a
peanut butter sandwich (or cheese sandwich if a peanut allergy is on file), fruit, and milk
at a cost of $0.40, which will be added to the student’s meal account. If the account debt
exceeds $20.00 or after an account debt remains unpaid for 30 days, the account will be
turned over to the school corporation attorney for collection. Alacarte items (except
milk) will not be sold to students with a negative account balance.
