10 Hours of Paraprofessional Activity - IU29 Guidelines
IU29 Guidelines for Full Time Additional 10 Hours of Activity
Steps to request pre-approval for 10 Hours of Activity:
Go to: https://tinyurl.com/10HRrequestform (After you submit the pre-approval request, it will go to the Special Education Director to start the approval process.)
The process will be:
1. Fill out the request form online.
• Activity hours can be on-going. You DO NOT have to put in a pre-approval request for the same activity that you will complete over time. You ONLY need to submit a pre-approval request for EACH individual activity. See examples on next page.
2. Request Status:
• If the request has been denied, you will receive an email stating that it was denied and why.
• If the request has been approved, you will receive an email stating approval.
3. Once the request has been approved, you can now start the requested activity.
• Every time you complete an activity or part of an activity, have the facilitator/contact person initial/date the 10-hour activity log form.
4. When the requested activity is fully complete, you can email Lorie Ossman, ossml@iu29.org, and let her know you completed the activity.
• Email a copy of your initialed activity log to ossml@iu29.org or send through office mail to Lorie Ossman - SP ED 2nd Fl.
5. Once your activity log is received and verified, the hours were completed, you will receive a COMPLETED approval email, and the hours will be deducted from the total hours still needed.
