About this event

  • 358 days 3 hours

Welcome to the Houston Independent School District!

We are thrilled you chose to join the elite, Team HISD. One of the first steps you will take as a new and/or returning employee is attending virtual New Employee Orientation (NEO). You must be fully cleared of the hire process by the Human Resources team to attend NEO. New employees must attend New Employee Orientation (NEO) AFTER their start date. NEO attendance does not prevent employees from accessing HISD’s network or applications.

NEO is a virtual training that will be hosted via Microsoft Teams. This is a private event only for employees who were recently hired into the district. Please DO NOT forward this to other employees and/or pending hires that are still going through the hire process. As a reminder, you will not be allowed to attend NEO until fully cleared for hire by the Human Resources team. This means, DO NOT attend virtual NEO until you have an employee ID number and Welcome Letter from your Employee Services Analyst.

NEO a three-hour virtual training, after which employees are released to complete their workday with their respective department or campus.

We want to ensure all new and/or returning employees receive pertinent information directly following your hire (such as Human Resources, Benefits, Employee Relations, Social and Emotional Learning, IT, and more) to be successful and grow in Team HISD.

Appraisal Training

All non-teachers will receive more information regarding the Non-Teacher Appraisal System during NEO.

For Teachers: The Teacher Performance Evaluation training (Teacher Excellence System for NES/NES-A and Teacher Evaluation System for NON-NES/NES-A) will be offered either before or after NEO. The information regarding the next Teacher Appraisal Training session will be emailed, with the NEO information, the day before the registered session, by the end of business.

The Teacher Excellence System Training – Performance Evaluation is required and mandatory for all teachers. If you have questions regarding the Teacher Appraisal training, please email TeacherEval@houstonisd.org

**NOTE TO INTERNAL TRANSFERS ONLY**: If you are current employee and recently promoted to a full-time teacher role and responsible for student grades, The Teacher Performance Evaluation training (Teacher Excellence System for NES/NES-A and Teacher Evaluation System for NON-NES/NES-A) is required and mandatory for all NEW teachers. This means you must attend Teacher Appraisal Training. If you have questions regarding the Teacher Appraisal Training, please email TeacherEval@houstonisd.org

HOW TO CONNECT TO NEO?

Information to connect to virtual NEO via Microsoft Teams will be emailed the day before the registered session by the end of business. So please be sure to check your email (spam and junk mail as well) regularly the evening before the event. Please DO NOT email Onboarding to request the login information. If you previously registered for this event, please do not register multiple times. This will prevent other new hires from being able to register.

SPECIAL REQUEST TO ALL:

We respect everyone’s time and effort. So will ask that you be patient during the virtual NEO with your inquiries and concerns. We allow questions during the orientation via chat within Microsoft Teams. Be sure to mute your microphone and turn off your camera capabilities at the start of NEO. This will ensure full attention of everyone attending with less distractions. It is encouraged to give yourself ample time to connect virtually and be on time. Late arrivals will be asked to reschedule for the following virtual NEO.
