Innovation Grant Tracking Documents (Accessible by Korbin, Norm, Kristine, & Julie)
Grant (Accessible by Korbin, Norm, Kristine, & Julie)
Teachers need to submit day/time-in/time-out on this form: SIGN-IN TIMESHEET PAYROLL SY21 INNOVATION GRANT; Julie will pull this data immediately after the timesheet period on the 16th (for days worked 1st-15th) and on the 1st (for days worked 16th-30/31) to transfer to payroll.
Because we are using grant funds, we save these sheets for the auditors; this timestamped information will be used to pay teachers and as documentation for work completed outside the school day. Teachers cannot submit data for dates outside the current timesheet period (ie – submit it on a regular basis as soon as you work your hours, please) and it cannot conflict with any other time sheet they are submitting during the same pay period.
Skills needed - Pear Deck, Screencast-o-matic, Schoology Assessments, Schoology overall, and numerous other tools.
