Bob Jensen, retired ETA UD, will be our interim during this time.
Our President, Tina Pizzitola, will be on a medical leave starting Feb. 5th. She is anticipating returning sometime mid-April. Please send ALL QUESTIONS to Eileen Ochoa via school e mail. It will be easier to process/record them if one person is collecting all the questions. Eileen will also carry the DUEA phone and can be contacted through that number (847-650-4085).
DO YOU KNOW YOUR BUILDING REPRESENTATIVE? Your building rep will be sent information periodically for you. You should be checking with her/him often for any news updates. If you do not know your BR, e mail Kathy Kaminski via school mail and let her know your school and name and she will e mail your representative’s name back to you.
PROFESSIONAL GROWTH Coursewear is/will be offering classes for us. Unless stated specifically otherwise, all courses are available to DUEA members. Remember to print a copy of the DUEA confirmation of completion of class form available on the website. Take this form to the class and get it signed by the instructor. Then, make a copy for yourself, and send the form to Lisa Jensen in Human Resources. She will process the form.
BOARD OF EDUCATION COMMITTEE The Region, made up of 4 U-46 support locals, has proposed a Board of Education Communication Committee. The groups would consist of one person from each local, and one board member. Meetings for coffee or lunch would be arranged and a common topic would be discussed with each board member by each group. They will meet a couple times a year to start. Sounds like something you would like to get involved in? Applications are available on the DUEAKNOW.com website and through Dave Neal at the IEA Office (847-428-7640). It is a great way to get to know school board members and share information and ideas. Please consider putting in an application and get to know your school board members! SENIORITY LIST
The final seniority list will be be in your school sometime during the week of March 1st.
TIME AND LABOR
Time and Labor (Payroll) is watching paid work time extremely closely. Please be sure you are swiping in and out within your assigned time. You can not work extra time without prior approval from your principal or supervisor. Working extra time without approval can lead to disciplinary action. However, please do not work for free, and never remove time from Time and Labor for hours you actually worked. DUEA WEAR
DUEA now has t-shirts and polo shirts. Every Wednesday we would like you to wear the DUEA wear to show support for DUEA. Please contact www.eileenochoa.u-46.org to order one today.
