The August 2015 issue of the School Leader Update is now available. In this issue, read what, in part, motivates Director Ryan Wise to ensure quality education for all of Iowa’s children. Attorney Nicole Proesch will catch you up on everything related to back to school. And read about a conference that is geared for your data groups.
All Newton Schools’ email addresses will now follow this format: lastnamefirstinitial@newtoncsd.org. Update your records accordingly.
Just a friendly reminder: there is a form to use when scheduling conference rooms in the Johnston REC and off-site meeting spaces. The Conference Room Request & Set-Up form is to be used when scheduling large events--rooms cannot be reserved until the form is completed. The form captures information about room set-up, catering and technology needs and helps us to better coordinate events to meet the needs of our visitors. The form is archived on the Intranet under Event Planning, Room Scheduling & Set-Up.
Please also note that if you are planning to teach a professional development class, you must have a room reserved for the class before you submit a Course Proposal to Professional Development.
If you have any questions about the room request form, contact Carol McDaniel, Central Office Administrative Assistant, at cmcdaniel@heartlandaea.org or ext. 14002. If you have any questions about course proposals, contact Brandie Gean, Licensure & Conference Center Manager, at bgean@heartlandaea.org or ext. 14459.
