Monthly newsletter for our employees - June 3, 2021
Message from Dave Reinhart
Dear Friends,
Thank you for taking care of each other this year! Ultimately, we come to work each day because of the people we work with, for, and the students we serve. Throughout this year you have made if possible to safely serve and now you deserve time to rest and rejuvenate.
In this newsletter you will find information about the contract for next year, pay, and insurance. Please let any on our team know how we can be of assistance to you!
Dave
