The Year is Moving... Are YOU?
It's hard to believe that October is here. We are in full force at our schools. Check out the resources below and share with your staff. Also, take a moment to look at the work from Connected Educators. They do a great job of helping our teachers focus on digital learning and trends. As we continue to move at a fast pace, I ask you to remember to always give great customer service to our students, teachers, and admin. You all are great at what you do and I am proud of the accomplishments we have made already this year. Media - Don't forget to use your ITFs as a means of collaborative lessons with you and your staff. Together we are stronger. Finally, this month kicks off amplifyecps. Get ready for fast paced PD that will help you and your teachers move! As always, if you need anything, let me know - call or email.
Happy Fall!
