The Mount Vernon School District Teaching, Learning & Leadership Department provides leadership and support to schools achieving the mission of the district to inspire and engage all students in learning to high levels of achievement. The department includes Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment, Staff Development, Digital Literacy and Categorical Programs including Migrant and Bilingual Education.
The Mount Vernon School District uses pd Enroller as the platform to house and register for professional learning events, and to manage and record clock hours. Pd Enroller is the platform used by all 9 ESDs in the state, as well as by OSPI. Staff can link their accounts to EDS and will no longer need to manually upload clock hours into EDS because they will automatically upload once the accounts are linked. Clock hours will become available 24 hours after the course and evaluation are completed.
Below are links to tutorials to familiarize yourself with Pd Enroller:
