TUSD Employees of the Month- February 2025
Vicki Angelini has been teaching since 1981 and has taught every grade level K-12. Vicki has been in the district for 28 years, 14 of which have been at Eagle Canyon High School. Some of the subjects she has taught in our district include 6th Grade Core, Home Economics, English, History, many electives, 9th and 10th grade opportunity, and all subjects at Eagle Canyon High School.
Templeton has never had a teacher as devoted to her students as Vicki Angelini. She plans incredible projects—most recently, she ordered skateboard decks for students to design, decorate, and turn into functional skateboards. This is just one example of how deeply connected she is to students. Her students adore her for her compassion and unwavering dedication. Vicki is an incredibly hardworking educator, committed to helping her students reach their full potential. She’s not just a teacher to them; she’s a counselor, a passionate advocate, and like a second mother. She is constantly looking out for their well-being, ensuring their best interests are always at heart. Our students are truly fortunate to have someone like her guiding and caring for them.
Katie Fiorenza has worked in the district for 5 years. Katie currently works at Templeton Middle School as the attendance clerk and is School Attendance Review Board clerk for the district. She is a model employee. Katie’s roles include monitoring student attendance, communicating with parents, and clearing absences. Attendance is important for our school and district. Katie helps manage data including truant students at each site, and providing communication to the families.
At the middle school, Katie makes staff, students, and teachers feel comfortable and welcome. She is kind to everyone, and helps the office be a safe place for students. Staff members had very nice things to say about Katie. One person said she literally is the heart of our office. She has a way of knowing when to be tough on kids and when they need some motherly love. It's clear that kids on our campus know that she is an advocate for them. We are so happy she's the first face that so many see when they come to TMS. Another staff member said they want to be Katie when they grow up. She is always positive. Kids love her, and she genuinely loves them. We wish we had 100 more Katies on our campus.

Workers Compensation Process
Employee Reports the Injury
When an employee gets hurt on the job, they should immediately report the injury to their supervisor. When reporting an injury, the employee should include all information relevant to the injury, including the day it happened, the type of injury sustained, and how and where it occurred.
Nurse Triage Line
The Employee and the Supervisor immediately call the 24/7 injury hotline at 1-855-519-8472. The injury hotline gathers information over the phone and helps the injured worker access appropriate medical treatment.
Supervisor’s Accident Investigation Report
**Mandatory for any worksite injury**
The injured employee and their Supervisor collaborate to complete the Accident Investigation Report. All supporting documents for the claim, including the completed Accident Investigation Report, must be sent to the District Office ℅ Ashley Dignam, or emailed to adignam@templetonusd.org within one working day.
Return to Work Plan
Once the employee is cleared by the Physician to return to work, the employee submits the Physician’s Return to Work Evaluation to the District Office. The employee then participates in an interactive dialogue facilitated by Human Resources. A meeting will be coordinated with the employee’s supervisor who is responsible for identifying current job duties alongside possible modified work and/or implementing appropriate job modifications. Together, the employer and the employee create a personalized reasonable accommodation plan for the employee to return to work safely while under restrictions. The priority will be to assign the employee to his/her same work department and same job, if possible to do so. If appropriate tasks cannot be found within the same work department, the employee may be placed in another department within the district. The agreed reasonable accommodation plan is reviewed after each medical appointment with the treating physician.
Please reference BP 4113.4/4213.4 /4313.4 for more information.
