Conference Attendance and Registration- Certified Employees
Participation in the February 15th Professional Learning Day is required for all certified employees of the district. All district employees should report to their assigned conference sites (South Pointe High, Castle Heights, ATC, CCDC) that day. Personal days may not be taken on this day without prior approval from the district Superintendent, and no "exchange days" will be offered within the year as an alternative for an absence on this day.
Attendance and Registration for Non-Certified Staff and Teaching Interns
Non-certified, full-time employees may attend the professional learning although it is not a requirement. All non-certified employees have access to KickUp and may register for any sessions of interest.
Teaching Interns may attend the conference; however, because they are not employees of the district, they are not able to register via KickUp. Internship supervisors will have to share the session information with their interns.
Helpful Information for Participants
Accessing KickUp
Participants should register for conference sessions through KickUp. PLC sessions are linked to KickUp in the Conference Schedule at a Glance. All district employees have KickUp accounts. If you are not able to access your KickUp account, please email jholmes@rhmail.org.
Registration Troubleshooting Tips:
2) If you are having trouble registering for a session, you should view your events log to be sure you are not registering for a session scheduled at the same time as another event for which you are already registered.
3) If you are having trouble registering for a session, you should check the attendance line of the session to be sure it is not full.
Session Expectations
Review the expectations for all sessions prior to the conference.
Conference Help Desk
A Conference Help Desk will be available in the gallery at each site to provide assistance during the conference from 7:15 am to 11:30 am on the day of the conference.
Special Accommodations
Individuals with needs for special accommodations including lactation rooms and accommodations for food allergies should email Dr. Holmes at jholmes@rhmail.org before February 15th.
