OEBB Benefits Enrollment

OEBB Benefits Enrollment is currently under way. All staff members need to re-enroll this year, even if they plan to opt out. The deadline for meeting September payroll is Monday, Sept. 5. OEBB will still accept enrollments through Thursday, Sept. 15, but that will cause a double deduction in October. For enrollment assistance or to learn more about your benefits, please plan to attend the Benefits Fair on Thursday, Sept. 1, from 1:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Administration Center.

Staff Guidance on Political Activity, Free Speech, and Facilitating Student Conversations
|
|
In the wake of the spring walkouts and a charged election year, we have created a one-page document that provides guidance on political activity, free speech in schools, and suggestions for facilitating difficult conversations with students. Please review the document, discuss it with colleagues, and address any questions you may have with your principal. The document can be found on the Staff Links page of the District website.

Every minute of every day matters in a child's education. Too many absences-excused or unexcused-can keep students from succeeding in school and in life. Please set an expectation for your student's regular attendance. Click here to learn more.
