Updated Look: ‘Me Tab’ in New Employee Space
Starting tomorrow, Sept. 9, the “Me” tab within the new Employee Space will look a little different. Employee Space will only contain one icon -- the “Expenses” icon. Icons related to functions other than finance will be added when that functionality goes live in the system. As a reminder, only financial transactions can be completed in the new Employee Space at this time. Functions related to Human Resources can continue to be accessed via Infor HR. Visit The Commons for more resources and information regarding the new Employee Space.

Living Our DPS Honoree
Christina Baith
Teacher, West High
Students First

"Ms. Baith is an incredibly inspiring teacher who makes sure all her students learn (and love!) math. She is consistent and reliable, and students always know what to expect from her. She presents math in context, keeps it real and uses activities that keep students moving, active and engaged. So many former students have told her, 'I didn't think I would ever be good at math, but you changed my mind!' She manages to change mindsets about math and that is powerful to see. She spends hours translating her materials for her multilingual students and has greatly improved her Spanish skills to better support her Spanish-speaking students. Overall, students appreciate her attention to detail and warmth!" 

-- Hannah Spock, Northeast Early College
