• For in-person trainings, you must be clocked in and signed in on a sign-in sheet provided by the trainer.

• For online/computer training, a certificate of completion must be included with your log (unless it was a ParaBytes or Public School Works course, which will appear on your transcript). You must also be clocked in during the training you are logging.
