Good Morning,

Kades-Margolis Corp. is the unions endorsed 403B vendor to provide 403b and retirement advice. If you would like to meet with him to open or transfer a 403b or discuss your Pension/Retirement options, please contact him directly:rwenrich@4kmc.com or (717) 602-5110. Since Kades-Margolis Corp. is the unions endorsed 403B vendor, you are entitled to a complimentary consultation to discuss 403b’s or your pension. Thank you.

Professional Development Opportunity: We have another Professional Development opportunity from the Region, “Writing Legally Strong IEP’s”. This is a great way to earn Act 48 credits and expand your knowledge. Please see the attached flyer. 2-4-20 IEPs

Split Class Language: We were able to meet and finalize the roll out of the new Split Class language. You will need to fill out the Split class form, located in your building office (and hopefully the district Google drive) when you have 5 or more students split in to your class. Once you fill out the form, you must also attach the split class list with the student names and return to your building secretary. It is imperative that you return your form and list the next school day to make sure your payment is processed. You building principal should be going over the “in’s and out’s” of the form. We will meet with Central admin in June to review how the process has gone and if there are any changes that need to occur. This is retro-active to October so please fill out your forms ASAP, they would like to try and process those payments by the end of January. If you have questions, please see a building Rep.

Clearances: This is your friendly reminder (nag) that you MUST have your clearances up to date and submitted to Linda Pelker in HR. I am attaching a “How to” sheet to help you in the process. UPDATING _ CHECKING YOUR CLEARANCES
