From MDE: Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) is offering the 3rd annual Advanced Placement (AP) Experienced Teacher Workshop for teachers to renew their AP endorsement, hosted by the Ocean Springs School District (OSSD). The workshop is open to currently endorsed AP teachers (and teachers whose endorsement has expired since June 2016) in the following Advanced Placement subjects:
- English Language and Composition
- English Literature and Composition
- US History
- US Government
- Human Geography
- Biology
- Physics I or II
- Calculus AB
The trainers are current AP teachers from the coast who have served as College Board AP exam readers or have experience with the new AP online support system. The AP Experienced Teacher workshop will take place July 8-11 in Ocean Springs, from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. daily. The workshop is free, and it will result in 3.0 CEUs for AP endorsement renewal. Teachers will be responsible for their own food, lodging, and travel. There are hotels, restaurants, and shopping nearby. The site director for this workshop with Ocean Springs School District is Karen Gifford at kgifford@ossdms.org.

Summer Maintenance Requests
From MDE: In an effort to help with transitioning into the 2019-20 school year, please send a message to parents of 6th graders reminding them of the requirement to submit an updated 121 Immunization Compliance Form at 7th grade entry . A dose of Tdap vaccine remains the requirement for 7th grade school entry, but we strongly encourage all students to receive HPV and meningococcal vaccine at the same time. All three of these vaccines are needed to help protect children in our communities from life-threatening diseases and HPV-associated cancers. Please join with us in promoting all three vaccines.
The following is a short message that may be sent to all 6th grade parents through a text or e-mail reminder system:
ATTENTION – Parents of 6th Graders:
Avoid LONG back-to-school lines
Schedule your child’s wellness visit NOW!
Visit your regular physician, provider or come to your local health department.
Students entering 7th grade need vaccines
& a new 121 Compliance Form.
The MS State Dept of Health strongly recommends
HPV & Meningoccal vaccines at this age.
HPV Vaccine is Cancer Prevention
Feel free to contact the MSDH Immunization Program at (601) 576-7751 with any questions or concerns. Thank you for your continued partnership to ensure the safety and well-being of the children of Mississippi.
