TOP TEN REASONS TO COMPLETE APPLITRACK- THE ePORTFOLIO STEP: Prior to securing AppliTrack, the CSD had no way to adequately track personnel. In this new system which allows us to build a central and integrated web-based professional portfolio mechanism, we can:
- Sends information directly to a group. For example, sending an email to all high school math teachers to alert them about a new summer program.
- 2. Provides the principal and CSD with information on employee compliance for Safe Environment and the CICS background check.
- Gives schools and CSD access to current address, phone, etc. Personal information changes are made by the employee- immediate and timely.
- Tracks years of service for the annual awards process. In the past, this has been difficult and sometimes a contentious task. Now it is self reporting, and it is the employee’s responsibility to inform us of their years of service.
- Finds experienced employees for certification committees.
- Provides an opportunity to store transcripts and certification documents online.
- Gives the Office of Catholic Faith Foundation (OCFF) information to track certified Catechists.
- Searches for employees with special world language skills.
- Tracks ethnic data.
- Allows the schools of the Archdiocese of Seattle to start moving towards a paper free environment and GO GREEN! J

Tick, tick, tick……
MARCH 1st CSD GOAL: To have ALL SCHOOL CERTIFIED EMPLOYEES fully enrolled in the ePortfolio portion of AppliTrack by March 1st, 2010. As of today: 786 principals and teachers are fully enrolled in AppliTrack/ePortfolio (called Internal applications) which is 40% of our employee population. Keep going! Thank you!
