Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to a new school year. I hope that you are all well rested and ready to meet the challenges that a new year brings.
Please save the dates:
Sunday, September 3 from 1-5 at Forest Hills Park. Join us for our first family picnic.
Wednesday, September 6: AFT President Randi Weingarten will be visiting our district. The schedule is being worked out. All members are invited to come meet Randi after school - probably at the high school. Let’s make sure she knows what Washington needs to hear as she advocates for us and all 1.5 million AFT members.
Sunday, September 24 from 12-6. The high school building is part of the Heights Heritage Tour and we have been asked to give tours. Please sign up for a shift with your steward or email Elementary Vice President Tina Reynolds (T_Reynolds@chuh.org).

-FAQ’s on most imaginable (and some unimaginable topics)
-missed updates and articles

Benefit fact:
The benefit for contact lenses did not go up to match the single lens amount. It has always matched, but when we tried to correct this overlooked item in contract edits, the Board refused to accept it arguing that we had not bargained for it.
