Before the Conference (Submitting a Request)
Once you are logged in, you can find the Conference Request form under Fill-In Forms on the left-hand side. Simply fill this out as you would a paper version of the form and hit Submit. It will automatically send your building principal a notification that your request is waiting.
One important note: Please make sure that under Account Options->My User Profile->Email Notification Preferences that your Approval Status Changes is set to Yes. That is the only way, aside from logging back in to My Learning Plan to know that your request has made it through the approval process.
One MORE important note: Be sure to fill in the number of hours for each conference on the request form. Many district employees have certifications under the new state regulations which require a certain number of professional development hours to be completed every few years. Entering your hours in each conference request form will help ensure that all of your PD hours are counted towards the state requirements.
Connie will no longer be notifying staff members when the request has been approved because Dr. Matusiak is set up as the final person in the pre-approval process. When Dr. Matusiak approves the request, an email will be sent to the staff member letting them know that their request has been “Approved and In Progress”.
Once you submit a conference request, if that conference has a registration form that is not already in MLP (for example, Model Schools courses are registered for through MLP), you must print out that request and attach any supplemental documentation and send it directly to Connie.
