It’s Now Simpler Than Ever To:

Ensure That Your Membership Remains Current

If you transfer from a school system where you are on payroll deduction, you’ll need to provide PAGE with this new information in order to maintain membership and prevent a lapse in coverage and benefits.

STAY IN-THE-KNOW BY KEEPING YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION UPDATED

Review your contact information, updating if needed, to ensure accuracy. Providing a personal email rather than a work email address is preferred as some school system filters will prevent receipt of messages.

Change From Student Membership To Professional

When transitioning from student to teacher, ensure continued coverage by also transitioning your membership to professional. And you’ll receive your first year at half price!
