Good Morning,

Social Media: This is your gentle reminder that you are NOT to be on social media throughout your contractual day. Posts are time/date stamped. This includes private pages, private groups, public forums, etc.

FFCRA Leave: I know many people have scheduled vacations over our spring break. Please remember that you MUST report travel outside of the state or country to the Benefits department even though travel restrictions have been lifted from the Governor. The next board meeting is March 24 and there is a possibility that they will vote to have all staff return. If you go away for break, Reading School District requires you to report that information to Lisa Magrowski in the Benefits Office.  It is also required that you quarantine and not report to work for 14 days from the date of your return, unless you test negative within the 72 hours prior to your return to PA. If you are able to work from home during that time and it has been approved by your supervisor, you are expected to do so.  If your position does not allow you to work from home and you have no sick, vacation or personal days to utilize, your time off will be unpaid. You will NOT be eligible for FFCRA leave.

Pre-Retirement Workshop: Are you starting to think about planning your retirement?  This year Eastern Region is holding a “Virtual” Pre-Retirement Series via Zoom.  These workshops are FREE and open to all PSEA members.  Space is limited, and pre-registration is required!  The attached flyer outlines workshop topics, dates and times, as well as registration deadlines for each session.  Because space is limited, we ask that you sign up for only those workshops you are interested in attending.  Several days before each workshop, you will be sent a confirmation/reminder email along with Zoom information.  Remember…the sooner you start planning your retirement, the better your retirement will be! We look forward to seeing you “virtually.” Questions? Don’t hesitate to contact the Eastern Region Office at 610-391-0835 or 800-322-9032.2021 Virtual Series Flyer

Quote of the Week: “Strength grows in the moments when you think you c an’t go on but you keep going anyway.”

Be Well,

Rebecca
