A note from Personnel...
ABCD Program (Above and Beyond the Call of Duty Award)
Mr. Curtis Moore, First Recipient of the ABCD Award
Just as we have honored a Teacher of the Year each spring, we now have a new tradition of honoring another segment of our working family. The ABCD Program was rolled out during the last school year with the intent of recognizing those persons who go the extra mile to help or provide extra-special customer service to our stakeholders. In most cases, the first contact our students, parents and community has with the school system is with clerical person in the office, with a custodian in the hallway, or with a bus driver out in the community. Those "first impressions" are vitally important to our stakeholders and to the school system.
In the short time the ABCD program has been in place, a number of Monroe County's support employees have been nominated for recognition. These nominations came from working peers, parents, and community members. Mr. Curtis Moore is the first Monroe County Schools Support Services Employee of the Year.
Here are some of the comments from nominations for Mr. Curtis Moore:
"He always works until the job is done, often sacrificing personal time."
"He takes pride in being a Monroe County employee. No task or job request is treated any differently. They are all equally important to him."
"He is a positive role model to our students - he encourages the boys to tuck in their shirts, and he always makes sure his own shirt is tucked in as well."
"He gives teachers a sense of security. When a stranger was on our hall, he kindly reminded the individual of the need to go back to the office to get a visitor's pass - even though he and the visitor knew each other."And finally, "He encourages and praises good behavior of the students, and serves as a male, role model to the boys in our building."
Thank you, Curtis Moore, for the work you do to support the children of Monroe County, and especially for the way you do it.
Jason Rogers of MEJA Construction Company has been an important facility and construction partner for the past several years, and he did not hesitate a moment in agreeing to sponsor our first ABCD/Support Employee of the Year honor. Mr. Moore was honored with a barbecue grill and supplies through MEJA Construction and WalMart.

Thanks for your patience as Technology Team members had to reimage laptops. It's a systemwide initiative that keeps the inventory as healthy as possible. This process makes sure that virus protection is up-to-date, and it keeps inventory up-to-date as well. It's year four of the MacBooks. Is yours showing wear and tear (and maybe a little dirt too?) Mr. Clean Magic Erasers (dry or just barely moistened) are great for taking the MacBook back to its original shine. (Don't scrub too hard -- letters could disappear.) You'll want to clean it when the laptop is turned off and unplugged.
