Welcome back to another year of exciting discoveries.<\/p>\n

As you may have guessed, we are working with a new look. Yes it’s a blog platform and offers much in the way of both sharing and having conversations.\u00a0 Over the next while, we will be adding to the site so please drop by often. Better yet, take advantage of the RSS feed, which will send new information directly to you.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a>We’re also launching other things, which will make life easier (streamlining the process) and let your \u2018fingers do the walking\u2019. Our new Staff Development Event Calendar<\/a> (https:\/\/10.155.6.59\/staffdevelopmentcalendar\/) has been opened for all district registration of workshops, learning series and events, and anything else that needs registering.<\/p>\n

Have you ever forgotten to register for that fabulous workshop and called only to find it full? Or went through registration via voice mail or email and hoped you did it all right? Or have you hunted high and low for that elusive handbook that 12 other people wanted too?\u00a0 Our new online SD Calendar makes all these frustrations a thing of the past!
\nSimply go to the district site<\/a>, look for the Staff Development icon on the right side and log in using your SD41 Groupwise ID\/PW.<\/p>\n

*Registration<\/strong><\/a> is a breeze \u2013 anytime, anywhere you have internet connection.\u00a0 Link directly to your session presenters and get detailed information or email them from within the program (you don\u2019t have to open Groupwise email)!\u00a0\u00a0 Get last minute updates immediately via email \u2013 Wow!\u00a0\u00a0 And like all blogging platforms, we\u2019ve made it so you can search by categories, tags or dates.<\/p>\n

The days of waiting for confirmation phone calls are over. An added bonus in the e-environment \u2013 we\u2019ll be saving quite a few trees.\u00a0 Stay tuned for more information this month or click the link above and get a head start on your professional learning plans.\u00a0 More learning sessions or series will be added as the year progresses.<\/p>\n
