COLLIER ADULT EDUCATION
Tuesday, April 23, 2019
Message from the Leadership Team.
We are quickly approaching the end of the semester. The last day of class is Thursday, May 16, 2019. Please make the most of your instructional time by using your paid planning time to prepare for class, so you can begin on time. These last few weeks of instruction are critical as we look to have 100% of our students post-test. Your site coordinators will be coming by your classrooms and scheduling students for testing. If you hear of any students who may not be finishing the semester please direct them to your coordinators for testing before we “lose” them.
