      Friendly Reminders from the CEU Committee:

      • Login to PELSB to review your re-licensure status throughout the school year.

      • When using the Google form, enter your information accurately (file folder #, dates, mandatory requirements, etc.)

      • Submit your CEUs throughout the year, rather than waiting and submitting them all at once.

      • You do not have to submit additional hours beyond the required 125, other than those needed to meet the mandatory requirements.

      • Keep a copy of any CEUs you submit via the Google Form.

      • Keep in mind that the committee members are your colleagues and are not paid for this work...treat them kindly, and submit your CEU information in a timely manner to make their job easier!

      • In the event you make an error in your Google form submission, email your CEU committee building representative
