Attended various meetings: PAC, SIT, Faculty, Grade Level, Content, Team, etc.

Cyberbullying assembly postponed due to weather. Reschedule for April 1.


 * MSITRT's** met February 8 to work on the 8th Grade Technology Test.


 * SMART training**: February 23, 24, and 25. One of the best training I have been to. The trainer must have been an awesome teacher. The teachers that Mrs. Miller sent were also very impressed. The training showed how you can be interactive with the board and also be very student centered. We are coming to the end of our purchases. Most every teacher in the building will have their own SMART BD. Hurray.
