American Fidelity Visits
American Fidelity Assurance Company representatives will be in the district to provide the yearly employee benefit package review. This review is provided annually to all employees who work 20 hours or more, which include voluntary benefits offered through payroll deduction, plus the benefits of Section 125 Flexible Benefit Plan. Open enrollment for ancillary products will begin September 24 and run through October. This is the window of opportunity for employees to change or add American Fidelity products for an effective date of January 1, 2019.
Each employee who qualifies (20 hours or more, double route bus drivers, and part-time retirees) for the 125 benefit program must sign off that they have been given the opportunity to view available products offered. Please know that no one should feel pressured to sign up for any product. This is the only opportunity for individuals who want added insurance to sign up for these benefits/services. The Individual meetings are mandatory to eligible employees in order to keep the district compliant with the legal IRS guidelines.
Specific times in which American Fidelity will be in your building/department will be sent to you by your building secretary or supervisor. You will then be able to sign up for a time to review their products.

Season of Surveys
It's that time of year...feedback time! To help the district best meet your needs as employees along with the needs of the students and families we serve, we will be distributing several surveys to these patron groups in October and November. More details will be coming, but specifically we wanted to share the addition of a student survey as this hasn't taken place in the past.
We want to gather input from students regarding the culture of their school buildings and get an overall snapshot of their school experience. This will be a short survey that will only be taken by 4th-12th grade students via a survey link that will be shared with you by your building administration along with additional instructions. We are only surveying 4th-12th grade students at this time as this mimics the national Leader in Me survey that these same grade levels will take in the spring. Thank you in advance for your help in gathering this important feedback! Stay tuned for more!
