Summer Core Academy

Secondary Social Studies teachers have an opportunity to attend a summer academy to learn the new Common Core and how to incorporate it into their teaching. All principals have information on registering (Feb. 16) so check with your administrator if you are interested in attending. Elementary teachers are invited to district-level trainings on the new Common Core--check with administrators for dates and registering information.
