RCEA Updates and Information

Greetings!
I hope everyone is ready to greet students on Tuesday! Is everyone planning to try and catch the eclipse on Monday? What a great opportunity to see a fascinating natural phenomenon! 
The RCEA Leadership Team attended the RCPS New Teacher Orientation on August 10 and introduced ourselves to the newest hires, presented information about the association, and answered questions. We enjoyed meeting everyone and wish the newest hires the best for the school year! For current members, if you have new hires in your building, take some time to introduce yourselves and point out this blog to them. Here you and those who are interested in becoming a member can find information about the RCEA Leadership Team, the UniServ Office, becoming a member, and much more! Remember: membership is open to everyone associated with education including, school secretaries, school nurses, bus drivers, custodians, even administrators. 
If you have any questions about membership or where to send forms, contact Amy Harris, RCEA Treasurer, at aharris@rockingham.k12.va.us.

Hope you have a great start to the year!
