Archdiocesan Teacher Monthly Newsletter - August 2012

Good News from the CSD Tech Team
Employee Database Portfolio Launch August 21, 2012
We are announcing a new online resource for Catholic School Employees in Western Washington. On August 21st, an email was sent to all employees who have been entered in their school's Employee List. You can now log on to seecelebrateandlive.org and have options not available to the general public. See your local administrator if you did not get the August 21st email with instructions.

One such benefit is an online database for employees called a Portfolio (CSEP); it has capabilities that will grow in phases. First, you will have access to your biographical section called Profile. The Profile information is private and seen only by you and your employer. As an employee, you are the only one who can edit/change your full Portfolio. Teachers can organize and update their professional activities and, in the future, share lesson plans and classroom ideas. A second benefit is that you can now create special lists, such as all 4th grade Art teachers in the archdiocese.
