    jnemartin posted a topic in School

    I asked this parent to send me her kid's vax record and she sent me a link to the kid's patient portal, which of course I couldn't open. So I'm already thinking she's kinda ditzy. So I ask her to...

  4. Transferring WGU Credits

    jnemartin posted a topic in Western Governors University

    I am super interested in getting my MSN (leadership) from WGU. I love that it's all online and I can work at my own pace (I know, I sound like a commercial LOL). But I do have two concerns and wanted...

  5. A strange surprise...

    jnemartin posted a topic in School

    I work in a MS/HS and graduation and all the end-of-year ceremonies are coming up. Honestly, I don't know how all of them work, but I know that usually students invite identify a special teacher/staff...

  6. If your school asked you, would you admin COVID vax on campus

    jnemartin posted a topic in School

    My admin is throwing this around - trying to become a vax site for our school community. Ultimately, I know it will never happen because things are too disorganized, but my initial response was...

  7. AZ Governor orders all schools open by March 15, or after Spring Break

    jnemartin posted a topic in School

    According to the superintendent of schools, they were not consulted or notified of this prior to the announcement. There is not (nor ever has been) any official plan or guidelines on how to open...

  9. If your school asked you, would you admin COVID vax on campus

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    What my administration is discussing is applying to be a vaccination site. So the state/county would give us an allotment of vaccine (and possibly syringes?) and we figure out the rest. Well.... I...

  10. Contracts for Next SY

    jnemartin posted a topic in School

    I just received my contract for next year. No raise. And they want me to come in a week earlier and stay a week later, and want me to stay an extra half hour each day. I am going to lose my...

  11. Contracts for Next SY

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    that's crazy. that was my question, too. We only had 178 technically "academic" days this year, so I understand making sure we achieve the 180 days... but they added 10 days onto the calendar. Plus...

  12. Contracts for Next SY

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    Update: I negotiated a 3% raise and a $2k COVID bonus (I asked for $6k, since this is what teachers get for taking on a new class - so $2k was rather disappointing). I did sign the contract, but...

  13. Christmas Gift Commiseration Thread

    jnemartin posted a topic in School

    I felt a bit like Clark Griswold when I opened my holiday gift from my administration... it was a gift card to Amazon (OK, better than nothing, although I did tell my husband if it was anything less...

  14. Christmas Gift Commiseration Thread

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    yeah, this is more what I was hoping for. I feel like $50 "bonus" is literally the least they could do for me, considering how much more and higher-profile work I've taken on (we're fully in person...

  15. Christmas Gift Commiseration Thread

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    that's awesome! I have found in my 3 years of SNing, that I usually get one or two gifts, and always from families whose kids I NEVER see. I think the parents (well, let's be real - the moms) take the...

  17. Staff Burnout

    jnemartin posted a topic in School

    My small, private school with two campuses prek-5 and 6-12, has been in-person since august. We've only had 2 confirmed positives, each time sending ~35 into quarantine for 2 wks. Although we've...

  18. Staff Burnout

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    We have a half day today, and this afternoon is filled with PD... that's actually a major force behind some of the burnout - all the teachers are complaining/commiserating to me that it's just...

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I know... there is a very bitter part of me that is wondering if anyone is thinking about how the NURSE is faring during all

  20. Those cute little COVID pumpkins

    jnemartin posted a topic in School

    I really wanted to make one - I even bought the pumpkin and figured out what I would use to make the little spikes. Then we got our first case of COVID at school - ~40 had to go into quarantine....

  23. Dealing with Our First COVID Quarantine - Siblings!

    jnemartin posted a topic in School

    TLDR: If you have a student who is quarantining because they are a close contact, do you send their siblings with no contact with COVID+ person into quarantine as well? A sibling in school who was not...

  24. Just me, or everyone...?

    jnemartin posted a topic in School

    Is it just me, or when you're inputting immunizations into SNAP (or however you audit them), do you think about what you were doing on that date. Like, "Oh, I just graduated college when you got that...

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    After this incident, we are considering changing the school policy to say that if one sibling goes home, all siblings need to go home. The leadership team is torn about this because, well, parents...
