Adult and Community Education
"In The Know" 8/16/2016
A Message from the Leadership Team
Adult Education
Thank you to all the instructors, support staff and coordinators who participated in our workshops last week. The focus of these workshops was to give us a common language, establish a foundation of how we work with our students and set the direction for this upcoming school year. As we start our year please remember to reach out to your site coordinators with needs or clarification so that we can best support you as we strive for continuous improvement.
After ten years of dedicated service and being part of the Adult Education family Ingrid Figares will be leaving us. Although we are sad to see her go we wish her well in her future. Join us Thursday, August 18th at 11:30 AM in dining room A to bid her farewell.
