Thank you everyone for your assistance with our successful earthquake drill during the Great California Shake Out yesterday. The drill ran smoothly and the students were great. Thank you Cliff for your outstanding job of organizing this!

Rick Wormeli PD Opportunity
Rick Wormeli, leading expert on Differentiation, will be providing a two-day professional development for interested Hart District teachers on January 10 and 11, the last two days of winter break. This is a unique opportunity to learn from him directly. Attendees will be provided a copy of his latest book, Fair Isn't Always Equal. Each day’s session will be from 8:00 to 3:00, with breakfast snacks provided, and an hour break for lunch. Teachers will not be paid to attend these days -- participation is completely voluntary. If you are interested, please let me know by October 31.
