Pie Day is tomorrow. Please refrain from parking near the Brass Lantern entrance tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be less than ideal and I would like to facilitate this process as quickly as possible. The more spots available the better this day will go.

If you do need to make copies of materials I remind you of the Graphic's Print Shop. Please use the link below. Personal emails should not be used when communicating job requests.

SEI Update - I have learned that only cohort members can apply on 11/19. You would have been sent an email from DESE if you are a cohort member This is triggered by having an identified ELL in your class in the last school year. All other educators can register for the FREE course in January. It's still important, but unless you got an email welcoming you to the cohort, you can hurry up and wait again until January.
