TDT/CPT DOCUMENTS:
We appreciate all of the feedback we've received on the TDT/CPT template. The template has been tweaked to incorporate a sign-in sheet (this can also be done on lined paper).
Here is the UPDATED protocol:
- Teams/departments have the choice to either type or handwrite notes on the template
- All TDT/CPT forms AND sign-in sheets must be submitted via HARDCOPY to Steve's mailbox by FRIDAY 2PM.
- Steve will be keeping a binder with all team and department forms.
Bus Lists:
Bus lists are anticipated to be distributed this week.
Reading:
Reading will begin this week! Thank you for remaining flexible with the delayed start. A lot of hard work, organization, and thought has gone into the process and we truly appreciate everyone's patience.
