To improve communication for all WESD Staff members, the Technology Department in partnership with the Communication Department is happy to introduce ParentSquare!

This notification platform will help keep you informed about any important and/or immediate events happening around the agency. 

ParentSquare is used by many of our partner school districts to keep families informed, and provide more messaging options compared to previous platforms. This platform will replace SchoolMessenger, a notification platform we've used in the past, primarily for weather and closure events. 

Signing up and ensuring you have your preferred contact information will help keep you informed of important events and closures at the Willamette Education Service District. 

Soon you will receive an email from ParentSquare, asking you to activate your account. This message is not spam 😆 You can click on the link to activate your account or download ParentSquare from your cell phone's app store and log in using your work email. 

Additionally, if you'd like to signup today, you can visit the ParentSquare website and login using the "Sign in with Google" button. 

Open enrollment for Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits starts on August 15, 2022!

You must log in to your MyOEBB account to confirm your enrollment selections for 2022-2023, even if you do not want to make any changes. You can either confirm the plans or make changes. OEBB will be mailing enrollment packets with plan details and information. The deadline to make selections is September 2, 2022. 

Forgot your password? From the OEBB website, click on "Forgot Password". MyOEBB will send you your username and a temporary password. 

Rate sheets will be updated on the HR section of the WESD website prior to August 15th. 

New Staff - you may not need to go through open enrollment - contact an HR Specialist to verify.

The 2022-2023 Safeschools Trainings are now available for WESD staff to complete. All trainings must be completed by September 30, 2022. 

Staff will receive an email with a link to the trainings or can access them by clicking below. Please use staff email as username. 

Also, there are fewer trainings to complete this year! 🎉

If you have questions or concerns relating to Safeschools, please contact Katelyn McGill at katelyn.mcgill@wesd.org.

It’s time for the WESD Section 125 Open Enrollment!

As a reminder, the Section 125 program allows an employee to pay for certain expenses related to medical, dental, vision costs as well as day care expenses on a tax‐exempt basis.

Some examples of these types of expenses include, but are not limited to; deductibles, co‐payments, chiropractic care, additional glasses, contacts and solution, orthodontia, laser eye surgery and day care costs. Any time an employee takes advantage of Section 125, this will help to reduce taxable income, which increases spendable income to the employee.

Insurance plans can be confusing, that is why we have asked American Fidelity to help. In your one-on-one benefit reviews, an American Fidelity account manager will help you understand how these plans work, and which of these benefits make the most sense for you and your family.

Schedule Appointment

Did you know you can change your mailing address, review payroll statements, and enroll in WESD emergency alerts all from the EAC? We encourage you to log in to confirm that we have the correct information on file for you. 

To log in to the EAC, visit the HR section of the website and click on "Additional Staff Resources". The user ID is your 5-digit employee number and the password is the last four digits of your social security number. Your employee ID number can be found at the top of your paycheck stubs.

As we have learned in the past few years, things happen, things change and we have to be ready to pivot at a moment's notice! In an effort to provide everyone with the most accurate, correct, and timely information, we have transitioned from a paper packet, to this digital landing page for our Kickoff and Inservice information. 

To ensure all staff know about the Kickoff event, we've ramped up the number of ways we communicate about the event, including but not limited to the following: 

• Postcards
• Agency Website Homepage Calendar
• Marion Center Reader Boards
• Door Posters
• Staff Email Blast
• Personal Email Blast
• Text Messages
• and Automated Phone Calls

If you have any suggestions about additional or different ways for the Kickoff team to communicate with staff in the future, feel free to drop a note to kickoff@wesd.org.
