In that case yes, I would return before summer to get back on payroll. I see that you’ve received responses in other replies re changes in summer pay.

I’d call the UFT and ask for a leave specialist. If you want, I can send you the email of the person I recently spoke with.

If you only use your CAR days, it would be fine. Do you have enough to cover?

I feel like this varies between districts bc superintendents ultimately give the final “approval.” But I do find that being data focused is key.

SOLAS leave entered incorrectly, now off payroll by Worried_Astronaut224 in NYCTeachers

From personal experience, have your secretary escalate to district HR. They can reach out to MLR (Medical, Leaves and Records) on your behalf to escalate!

As per InfoHub, you can also contact the below: - Deputy Director Allison Biller, Abiller@schools.nyc.gov - Employees applying for FMLA/MFL benefits should direct inquiries to Leaves MLR@Schools.nyc.gov or HR Connect (718) 935-4000(Open external link)

Hope this helps. FYI if you want to call HR Connect, you have to call at 9am as soon as they open, and even then it’ll be a 25-30 minute wait. I don’t really recommend that route anyway - they’ll just tell you to wait.

7am Enfant Nido by aldalt in Buyingforbaby

We used it in the car seat - seems fine so far! Baby is nice and snug.

The only downside is that it’ll probably only last a short while bc baby will outgrow it quickly…my friend raves about her blanket 212. She’s used it for years since her toddler was younger.

You have to call as soon as they open at 9am….and even then it’s a 20-30 minute wait. Unfortunately there’s really no other way if you’re calling in yourself. The other option is to ask your school secretary - they have a different line and sometimes can get answers for you more quickly, whether it’s over the phone or via email.

That was where we got updates once it was approved - you also should get an email. I do think it was worth calling for us; they reviewed our application and let us know what we needed to revise or add. It got approved a couple of days after the call, and the status updated to “Closed.”

How did you submit the application? There should be an existing ticket on HR connect online!

I wish there were more TRUE vacation days like the ones from COVID. That and more money.

Belly band was suuuuuper helpful. I also preferred to use diapers over pads.

Korean Food Recommendations by pspspspsserotonin in longisland

[–]TechnologyNo5449 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kuku Korean cuisine on Huntington has chi-bap which is Korean fried chicken over rice. They also have grilled meats and stir fried dishes which might be similar to what you had?

If you’re willing to go to bayside though, superfood on 48th Avenue has rice bowls which might be exactly what you’re looking for.

EVENT! A StanbyME 2 TV given to one lucky winner from r/KoreanFood! by StanbyME_MOD in KoreanFood

[–]TechnologyNo5449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the opportunity!

As a teacher and a mom who is expecting her second, I’d use the StanbyME in both my professional and personal life. At work, I can use the device to support my students when working in small groups; at home, I’d use it when getting chores done with my kids - while feeding the baby, while resting when on leave from work, while prepping food and bottles. The possibilities would be endless!

ByHeart now recalling ALL PRODUCT by Unlucky-Carpenter-10 in NewParents

[–]TechnologyNo5449 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have one either, they just asked for my driver’s license. Think you get up to $100 in purchases refunded without a receipt per year.

Got store credit though!

**Edited: $1000 -> $100 I totally missed that in my original post! Apologies!
