We will be using a different platform for this PD, Moodle. It will allow all campuses to
participate at once; therefore, we will offer one-session after school so hopefully more
can collaborate with the 2nd grade team. Please make sure teams and other staff that
will be joining us for the PD register on Workshop. We will be sending handouts for the PD via email on Workshop.
