From the desk of Eric, Maggie and Marianne
We have had a successful APEX Fundraiser! The APEX leaders did such an amazing job of teaching our students about leadership! Thank you all for your help in making this event a huge success!!!
The Leander ISD Educational Excellence Foundation (LEEF) created the Teaching Grant to help provide teachers with the development, resources and tools needed to most significantly impact student achievement through their individual teaching. The goal of this grant program is to directly support the needs of individual teachers. Grant funding opportunities occur three times each school year: fall, spring and summer. The LEEF Grant application for Spring will be open until March 25th.
This is another reminder to complete this year’s BrightBytes survey. The data from this survey will be utilized to provide insights on planning professional learning for our campus, a data source for the Trusted Learning Environment (TLE) certification, as well as data to support both campus and district improvement plans. The district will assess the needs of our campus to determine next steps for how we prioritize our technology resources. http://www.bbyt.es/369TT
We want to give a BIG SHOUT out to all who presented today. We appreciate the time and effort you took into preparing technology sessions. We hope you can take what you learned back to your classrooms.
Please take time over Spring Break to enjoy your family and RELAX! :)
We hope you have a restful Spring Break!
Eric, Maggie, and Marianne
