Managers, it’s time to complete the mid-review step of the myPerformance evaluation cycle for your non-teaching employees. The mid-review step is your opportunity to do a formal progress check-in with your employees now that we’re halfway through the annual performance evaluation period that began March 1 and ends Feb. 28, 2025. Go to myPerformance to access and complete mid-reviews which should be completed by Sept. 30.

Follow these steps to complete mid-reviews for your non-teaching employees:

• Add comments regarding your employee’s performance and progress on their expectations and goals for the first half of the evaluation period
• Make any necessary updates to expectations and goals for the last half of the evaluation period
• Save and submit your updates
• Meet with your employees to review their progress, share any updated expectations and goals, and provide them with a copy

Helpful hints:

• Managers have unlimited access to update and edit content on evaluations in myPerformance until the employee self-evaluation step begins Jan. 1, 2025.
• Be sure to save and submit anytime you update or make changes to an evaluation. You still have access to make changes after you save and submit.
• Employees don’t have access to their 2024-25 myPerformance evaluation until the employee self-evaluation step which is why it’s important to review and provide a copy of their evaluation for reference throughout the year.
• Managers can add co-planners during this step. A co-planner is someone who has managed a portion of the employee’s work assignment during the evaluation period.
• To find in-progress or past evaluations in myPerformance, check the small box “Show completed and expired tasks” then click “Search.”
