  • HR Notes from Suzie
    • Do you know someone who would like to become a substitute teacher? The basic skills test requirement is being waived for 2023. This makes it easier to get a substitute credential. Contact Suzie if you need more information. 

    • December paychecks will be issued on the 15th.

      January payroll will be on the regular pay cycle.


    • Paystub credentialing reminders are from the Mendocino County Office of Education. Unfortunately, they usually need to catch up on the current status. If you have not received a reminder from me, you are in good standing.

    • Spring Coaches are needed for baseball, golf, softball, swimming, tennis, track, and wrestling! If interested, please contact Jen Gardner at FBHS or Leticia Ramirez at FBMS.

  • EL Notes from Tina
