For Principals
- I am looking for a few volunteers to vet faith formation programs.
- Upcoming events: Jan 11th spring WCEA self-studies due; Jan 17th high school meeting in Billings; Jan 26th virtual principal meetings (9 am and 1 pm).
- Last Friday, we held a webinar to review the religion standards. I was able to record it but have been unable to link it to the newsletter (yet). The key to implementing the religion standards is to first get them in the hands of the teachers. During our January 26th virtual principal meetings, we'll host the architect of the religion standards for a Q & A.
