Elementary Teachers - March PD

We will have March PD on the 3rd Tuesday of March. The focus will be on “Effectively Utilizing the Lexia Reports to Support Instruction”.

This PD will be delivered by a Lexia Representative. They are requesting to have no more than 25 participants attend a session. Therefore, we will be holding 2 sessions on March 16th to accommodate their guidelines. The first session will be held from 3-4 pm and the next session will be 4:05-5:05 pm to allow the presenter time to shift from one session to the other.   


Please make sure you sign up on the portal before 10 am on March 16th. We will send the Zoom link to those who have signed up on the portal to adhere to the presenter’s request for no more than 25 participants in a session. 


**Some of you have shared having issues with not being able to put in the sign-in code. Please do not log on to the portal too early before the start of our meeting. The portal times out after being logged on with no activity for a period of time. When you try to log back in you will get an error message.
