Employee Recognition Program
Here is your opportunity to share positive feedback about a Bay-Arenac ISD employee you think deserves recognition. You may want to recognize an employee that went above and beyond their responsibilities or acted neighborly, empathetic, or diligent. Anyone can recognize any Bay-Arenac ISD employee. Recognition can come from ISD employees, students, students’ families, local districts’ staff members, community stakeholders, etc.
Please share the link with anyone you think may be interested. We have also created a QR code that you will find below. I encourage BAISD employees to print the QR code and post it anywhere stakeholders will see it. You may save a copy of the form to your Google Form Drive for easy access. Nominees will be shared in future VieauPoints newsletters and mentioned at the board meeting.
