Virtual Collab Day Recap
Dear ADW School Leaders and Educators,
Did you miss our Virtual Collaboration Day or want to review? Below are the notes and presentations from our Friday, April 3, 2020 event. The morning started with a message from our Superintendent of Schools, Bill Ryan. Wendy Anderson, Associate Superintendent, then walked everyone through Phase 2 of our Distance Learning Plan. The sessions contained a variety of content and hopefully you were able to walk away with some new knowledge. Thank you to our presenters who created high quality sessions in a short time frame.
If you would like to present at our next Virtual Collaboration Day (week of April 20 - 24), please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/NnXLyzW2htBq7fn67
May the spirit of the Lord fill your home this Easter. Wishing you a very Happy Easter that is filled with plenty of love and happiness. Wishing you and your family the happiest Easter of all. God bless you now and always.
