Professional Learning

The intention of the Site Professional Learning Log is to give credit to professional learning that you have done at our site that is not tracked through district sign-in sheets. This year the process has changed and lives in Kickup.

In place of signing and turning in your Site Professional Learning Log, confirm your attendance of completion of at least 21 hours of site learning by using this link to Kickup. Complete this task by Tuesday, April 30. If you are short hours, let me know. If you have tracked your hours on paper this year, that document is for your records. Questions? Feel free to reach out to me or to Martha Doennig (mdoennig@spsmail.org) in the Department of Professional Learning.

Health Room Procedures 


Currently, administration is working with the nursing office to develop a triage protocol. A protocol will ensure students' concerns are handled appropriately and along with protecting instruction time. Until the protocol is ready to implement, below are items to review and follow until further notice.
  • No students should be sent to the Nurses office during passing period.
  • When a student is sent to receive care, a blue pass must be filled out by the teacher that contains the teacher’s name, students name, reason to be seen and a time the student left the classroom.
