When the teacher responds to a prompt sent by the principal, the eVAL tool does not automatically generate an email message that is sent to the principal. Rather, it's not until the principal signs into eVAL again that s/he knows that that the teacher has responded.

The previous article covered how the teacher responds to the principal's pre-conference prompts.  This article provides information about how the principal will know if the teacher has responded.

The principal should sign in to eVAL, click on the Options link in the menu, and choose the work area called Evaluate Teachers.

1. Use the drop-down menu to choose the teacher whose responses you wish to read.
2. In the section called Activity Summary on the right, you will notice an orange NEW notification next to the Observations link. The orange notification is not hyperlinked; it is simply a notification icon.
3. Click on the Observations link to the left of the orange notification.
