Hi Paras,
Looks like March is going to come in "like a lamb'; that means it will go out "like a lion"...oh my. Don't know about you, but I am ready for Spring and warmer temperatures. :)
I know how busy you will be this month readying students for testing. They don't call it March Madness just because of basketball. Hang in there...you have spent the last seven months working with students to ensure their success. They will do you proud!
March 11th is Parapro Appreciation Day here in Georgia. Some Cobb schools are recognizing you on March 11th. Other schools recognize ALL staff on another day. Either way, please know that your efforts and work do not go unnoticed. We appreciate our parapros!
By now you have heard that the Parapro Institute will not be held this year. After three years of focusing on you and the roles you play in our schools, I felt it was time to take you to the next level - teaming with your Content teachers and attending the pre-planning PL day with them. Work begins this week to plan an elemenary-focused day for July 27th and a middle/high-focused day for July 28th. It is our goal to provide a schedule to schools before Summer dismissal. Stay tuned. :)
Excellent attendance from parapros in our Winter/Spring 2010 PL classes. Thanks for your support! For those of you needing PLUs this Summer, registration begins May 3rd. I should have a preliminary schedule a couple of weeks prior to May 3rd; if so, I will email it to Parapro Faciliators for distribution.
The March Parapro Connection newsletter is not available yet. As soon as that happens, I will let you know.
Thanks for ALL you do! Continue your best efforts. It's my pleasure to work with all of you,
Lynn :)
