It's That Time Again...
We are announcing our 2008-2009 Pre-K SPED Program Evaluation Survey. We truly appreciate the input we get from each of you at the end of each year. We have made a great effort to formulate each question to collect specific data. The results of this yearly survey help us to plan professional development activities, order needed materials, and give targeted classroom support. Read each question carefully. The entire survey should take about 30 minutes. Thank you in advance for your input so we can continue to make improvements to our already exemplary program!
Take the survey now!
(M-DCPS Pre-K SPED Teachers only - thank you)

CONGRATS to Mary Olson, Pre-K SPED teacher at Gulfstream Elementary for receiving the Alma David Exemplary Graduate Student Award at the University of Miami. She will receive the award during the commencement ceremony this week. We are lucky to have her as a teacher in our program!

The 2009 Summer & After School Programs Guide is available from The Children's Trust website.
