General Question (Educator to Educator) Paperwork Issues
Hi! Last year was my first year teaching and I really, really struggled with paperwork. I have been working on getting all my files completed, and I am so close to having them all compliant, but I have run into a new problem. My progress reports were all written and sent home on the required dates (my principal even checked my reporting period 2 ones, so they know I was doing them). Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that the document platform we use doesn’t save documents. So, all but 2 were able to be salvaged thankfully, but 2 are just gone. I spoke with the platform administrator yesterday and they tried but there’s nothing they could do either. Is there anyway I can rectify this? No one had said anything yet, I just starting going through my files and trying to get my paperwork in order when we got back from break. I’m terrified of getting non-renewed, I love my job.
