VIRTUAL WEDNESDAY SERIES FOR SUCCESS
Meeting the Needs of Your Students During Remote Learning
Every Wednesday, at 9AM and repeated at 1PM, the MAISD is offering virtual forums to provide a place for Muskegon County educators to learn, share, and connect as we all navigate this new way of doing school. Topics will be determined based on the most pressing needs within the county. Participant feedback will help us to hone this forum. Our first topic (last week and again this week) is wellness with ideas and strategies for checking on the wellbeing of your students.
The next session of the series is Wednesday, April 22, 2020! See Details and Register
