Retirement Plan Deferral Changes Coming
Beginning on July 1, 2024, all employees wishing to make a change to their 403(b) and/or 457 deferred amounts will need to fill out a deferral form and return it to Becky Frakes in the benefits office. The refers to the amount of your paycheck that is deferred into pre-tax or post-tax retirement accounts.

Employees still need to go through Associated Bank to change any investments they have.
The deferral change forms are available on the retirement benefits page of the District website.

Sharing or Transferring Your Google Drive Files
Are you retiring or otherwise leaving the District? Would you like to share or take with you resources you have created in your Google Drive?
As the school year comes to an end, there have been a number of questions about sharing resources with colleagues or transferring them to a different account to take with you. The Technology Department has put together directions to walk you through the process of how to share resources if you are leaving the District, as well as how to use Google Takeout to take resources with you. All of this information can be found in the NJSD Tech Resource Hub in Canvas or by clicking on the following links.
