 Good Morning, Time for an update! I hope all of you are surviving this odd return to school.  I know personally, I can't remember when I have been this tired or stressed.  Hopefully, this weekend you can pause and take time away from school to take care of yourself and your families!   There are some issues/events coming up that we would like you to be aware of.  First of all, MESSA (Insurance) open enrollment is in November, please access your MESSA account through the portal to review your plan.  We are adding a new plan and I will post that overview here.  Renee Szurna who is our MESSA rep will be doing informational meetings on that new plan and answering questions on October 6 and 7 at 4:30.  When those dates get closer I will send out those links. You can also ask me questions, I would be happy to help! I intend to send this information on insurance to  personal and cppschools emails since insurance information and meetings are for everyone even if they are not a member. On
