MADISON INFORMATION
- Staffing: Brandi Geddis will be starting on April 19th to help support students on Amy’s caseload.
- Science Testing: for 8th graders this week, during their science period (or with Matt/Amy).
- Neoprene computer bags: During Focus on Monday, you will hand out the neoprene computer bags to all students who have not been given one yet. Mary is providing you a list.
DISTRICT INFORMATION
- Repeat: OEBB Dependent Eligibility Verification: If you have a dependent listed on your insurance, OEBB is requiring everyone to verify dependents meet their criteria for eligibility. Your dependents could lose their insurance coverage without verification. For example, if you have a spouse on your insurance, you’ll need to submit a copy of your marriage certificate and the first page of your most recent tax return. Linked here are the documentation requirements.
- Licensed Staff: You should have already received an email from OEBB and will receive a 2nd one in early April if you haven’t verified your dependent(s). You have until April 28 to complete their request.
- Classified Staff: You will get your first email in early May and will have until June 27 to submit your verification.
PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND OTHER INFORMATION
- Ramadan: Ramadan is happening through April 22. This is the Muslim month of fasting. I’m not sure how many, if any, of our students are practicing Muslims, but this information is important to know.
- Kelly MS Benito Juárez Celebration: Friday, April 7 from 5-8pm is Kelly Middle School’s Benito Juárez Celebration. There will be food and entertainment provided by both students of our local immersion school and community groups. All are invited to attend!
- Free Library Card for 4J Students and Staff: All 4J students and staff are eligible for a free library card even if they don’t live within the city limits. Just bring your school ID to get your free card. Per Allan, one of the perks is two free streaming services: Hoopla and Kanopy. They also have DVDs to check out of recent streaming shows. My favorite is the free ebook lending library.
