Your page

Trellis opens on Staff Development: this week’s Weekly Staff Report at the top, and a My profile button below it.

If you also lead a Resource Team or a Core Group, you’ll open on that page instead. Tap Staff at the top to get here.

Turn in your Weekly Staff Report

Fill this in once a week. It’s due Wednesday at 5 pm and asks about the 7 days before. Answers save as you tap; there is no Submit button.

1. Staff cohort event on the calendar in the next 30 days? Yes or No.
2. At least one touch with a non-Core Group Leader in the last 7 days? Yes or No.
3. Did you sabbath in the last 7 days? Yes or No.
4. Days you spent time with Jesus in the last 7 days: 0–7.
5. Your availability: 1–2 has room, 3–4 on target, 5 at capacity.
6. Rating of the most recent Sunday Reset or Resource Team Meeting: 1–10, or Did not attend. At 7 or below, say why.

Once every question is answered, the top shows ✓ Turned in with the date. Reports turned in after Wednesday at 5 pm count as late.

You can look back at earlier weeks in the Week of box, but you can’t change them.

Your profile

Tap My profile. Only you and admins can see it. It opens with your Weekly Staff Reports for the school year: reports filed, on time, availability (with your last-4-weeks average), days with Jesus, sabbaths, touches, cohort events and rating.

Tap any number to see the reports behind it. The charts below show your availability and days with Jesus week by week.

Discipleship

This shows who disciples you on staff, who you disciple on staff, and the students you disciple: the Core Group Leaders you lead as a Resource Team Leader and the students you meet with yourself.

Meeting notes lists the notes from your meetings with the person who disciples you, newest first.

Tap a card to open that meeting log.

Goals and Rocks

Two sections, each by quarter. Goals are the personal goals from your quarterly Staff Evaluation. Rocks are your EOS Rocks.

1. Pick the quarter, type the goal or Rock, and tap Add.
2. As the quarter goes, set its status from the menu: In progress, Done, Partly done or Not done.
3. Tap × to remove one.

To-Do’s and Newsletters

To-Do’s counts your Microsoft Planner tasks this school year that are assigned only to you: complete, open, on time and late. Open Open tasks or By plan for the list.

Newsletters lists the newsletters you’ve sent. Both update from Microsoft 365 every night, so change them there.

Assessments

Tap Edit in the Assessments box to enter your StrengthsFinder top 5, Working Genius (geniuses, competencies and frustrations), APEST and Enneagram. Tap Save when you’re done.

Log meetings with staff you disciple

If you disciple someone on staff, their card appears under Discipling on staff on your profile.

1. Tap their card to open your meeting log with them.
2. Check the date, type notes (what you talked about, prayer requests, next steps), and tap Log meeting.
3. To fix an entry, tap Edit or Remove beside it.

The log is seen by the two of you and admins. The log kept by the person who disciples you is view only for you.
