Our PL 101 course is going to be Monday, October 29th
beginning at 8:30 in my room C-107. It will be a full day training. Please
request your own substitutes and I will give Cindy the budget code.
In order to make the activities even more meaningful and
efficient, we would like you to please view this online
Kyte course that was created by the ILE department. It will take
approximately 30 minutes and will provide you with background knowledge so we
can spend more time applying the knowledge to your actual classrooms on the 29th.

I know you have a lot on your plates but I really appreciate
you taking the time to do the course and coming to this day of PD!
