Get Recognized
Get Recognized Peer Recognition Program
Do you work with someone great? Do you have a superlative supervisor? A fantastic employee? Want them to get the recognition that they deserve? Then nominate them for the Get Recognized peer recognition program.
Every month during the school year, from October to May, the Recognition Committee will review submissions and select a winner. The winner will be honored at an upcoming Get Recognized Celebration, where they can invite colleagues, receive a gift, and be featured on the Staff Assembly website and social media.
