"Try and Make Me!"

The Joe Cassel Professional Library at the Administration Building now has 30 copies of "Try and Make Me!".  This book was shown at the Try and Make Me workshop that was held for new teachers.  It is about "a revolutionary new program for raising your defiant child - without losing your cool". You may check out a copy through the library system.

Register, register , register...

It is very important for you to pre-register for all courses.  Limits on room size, handouts, etc. are involved.  There are also instances where we cannot read the signature of those who did not pre-register and we therefore cannot give staff development credit to the individual.  If you do attend without pre-registering it is very important to include your employee number as well as your name and location on the sign-in sheet.
