I hope everyone had a restful summer and is off to a great start to the 2022-2023 school year. I am personally looking forward to an awesome school year.
A couple of items to bring to your attention:
Faculty Association Social, Friday, August 12
We have reserved Me N Ed’s for a Faculty Association Social this Friday, August 12.
They have a new outside eating area we have reserved from 4:00 to 6:00 PM.
The FA will pay for all the Pizza, Beer, and Wine for all members who attend.
Me N Ed’s is located at 560 E. Betteravia Rd, on the corner of Betteravia and College, near See’s Candy. See you there.
September Paycheck
Your September paycheck should include payment for the extra professional development day we worked in August. Please keep in mind that this is not a permanent increase to the salary schedule but is a payment of your daily rate of pay for working the extra Professional Development Day. We will also work an additional Professional Development Day in January and should receive that payment in our January 2023 paycheck.
