December PD
Congrats to our "OFFICIAL" Apple Teachers for going above and beyond to complete the Apple Badges. We currently have 11 APPLE TEACHERS AT WICK! Reminder to email Ashley the email that you receive when you complete all 8 badges! Reminder at least 3 badges must be submitted for PD credit by December 21st.
Apple Teacher Designation
According to page 12 of the Apple Teacher Signature Guidelines, “You may promote your authorization as part of your email signature only with text. Do not include the Apple Teacher signature at the end of your email."
Request from Mr. Lipisko
I know I sent out a google form a few weeks back asking for you to put the college(s) you attended, but I need you to fill this form out again. I have added other questions so that the door signs we make are even better. Please fill the google form out ASAP. My goal is to have the signs made before we leave for break!! Thank you very much.
