Reminders & News
- Make sure to read The Exchange for district news and information.
- Remember to complete the Staffing Survey
- Let's start those P2P nominations for the 3rd grading cycle! From this point forward, please complete the nominations on this form rather than via email. It will be easier to ensure that none get missed. I have also included this in our staff folder on Google Drive.
- EdCamp was a huge success, thanks to all of you being so willing to share ideas and learn from each other! Thank you!
- Please watch this video about the drafted Theory of Action for our new curriculum and provide feedback using this form.
- I was asked to have you all sign up for updates from the Holdsworth Center, here. Our district can win a cash prize for having the most people sign up and we are only losing by 600 accounts. Please sign up!
