Over the past few months, you’ve probably noticed a new look and feel for PAT. For starters, our office was completely remodeled, after OEA finally took care of the numerous maintenance, repair, and safety issues with our building. In addition to a host of new technology, the remodel included things like new dishwashers that will help us make “greener” choices. If you haven’t come by the building this year, drop by and check it out.

We also revamped our website, which we hope will become your first stop whenever you have a question or need information. Please let us know if you have suggestions or other feedback. We’re always looking for new ways to make the website more useful for you.

In addition to our website, don’t forget to request access to our PAT Discussion Group on Facebook. It’s a great place to network with other educators, get information, and discuss issues you’re facing at work. Although it’s a closed group, for PAT members only, it is still Facebook so don’t post confidential or sensitive information.

Next up for 2017, redesigning the PAT logo!
