Certificated Staff
The University Place School District provides numerous opportunities for its certificated staff to earn clock hours, including job-embedded, building-based professional development and after-school courses.
In-district professional development clock hour paperwork is submitted automatically to the Teaching and Learning Department by the district provider at the conclusion of the professional development offering. In order for clock hours to be processed accurately, it is important that staff:
1. make sure to sign the attendance sheet, and
2. make sure to complete the registration form at the end of the professional development activity.
