Employee of the Month Recognition Program

Purpose

It is the intent of the Laveen Elementary School District Governing Board to recognize outstanding and dedicated Laveen employees for their superior job performance and attitude. District employees may nominate candidates by submitting the Employee of the Month nomination form, along with a written narrative, to the Communications Coordinator’s Office. The final selection will be made by an eight member committee that will consist of certified and classified staff members.

Nomination Guidelines

All certified and classified staff members (excluding administrators, retirees, and committee members) are eligible for nomination as Employee of the Month. Nominations for Employee of the Month may be submitted by any Laveen District employee. Employees may submit as many nominations as they choose. Nominations should be submitted electronically using the form below by the 15th of the month. Any nominations received after the 15th will be considered for the following month.

All nominations received by the Employee of the Month Committee will be held for six months for consideration. If an applicant reaches the end of the six month consideration period (not counting the months of June, and July) without being named Employee of the Month, the candidate may be re-nominated on a new nomination form.

Employee of the Month recipients are not eligible for re-nomination until three years have expired from the date of their previous selection as Employee of the Month.

Selection

One certified and one classified employee will be selected on a monthly basis. The Employees of the Month are selected during the second half of each month during the regular school year.

Recognition

The Employees of the Month are recognized and honored by the Laveen Elementary School District Governing Board at the Governing Board meeting. Names of winners are displayed in the reception area of the Laveen Education Center. Photographs of each winner are taken and posted on the district’s Flickr page, https://www.flickr.com/photos/laveenesd/albums.
