Last Updated January 30, 2012
Thanks to everyone that attended last Thursday's region 5 principals meeting. We are looking to schedule another in March. Please use the Doodle calendar distributed in an e-mail with the last E-blast. It will give us a better sense of when you are available. I'm doing my best to come up with a good shared time. I've attached some resources from our agenda below.
I. Presenation of anti-bully contest from Clear Channel (info coming soon)
II. Discussion of schedules and visit to H.C. Crittenden M.S.
a. The ABC's of H.C. Crittenden, Code of Conduct and contact info

The following came from the National Forum to Accelerate Middle Grades Reform and the leadership has asked that we forward to our State Networks:
Kareen,Teaching Ambassador Fellow, located in Washington state, and Geneviève a Washington D.C. Teaching Ambassador Fellow, have written a blog based on the roundtables they have been conducting with middle level educators over the last few months (including roundtables held with STW after the October Forum Convening and at the AMLE conference).
