Open Enrollment for 2025: July 28 - August 8
Heads up, Eagles:
Open Enrollment for benefits will close BEFORE school starts this year! Plan changes and enrollments can be made from July 28 through Aug. 8, 2025. Current plan coverages from Anthem Blue Cross will continue without any action required by covered employees. Changes or updates to plan coverage should be made in the Employee Navigator during open enrollment.
For more information about our BCBS benefits packages, please view the Employee Benefit Guide on our staff website. Our broker, Barker Phillips Jackson, will be at the Joplin Schools Health, Benefits & Retail Therapy Fair on Friday, Aug. 1 to answer questions and assist with enrollment. Changes to plans and premiums will be evaluated over the summer.
There will be NO extensions to Open Enrollment past Aug. 8, so be sure to make any changes during the Open Enrollment window!
If you have questions, please contact Benefits Coordinator Ariana Valade: arianavalade@joplinschools.org
