Passaic spring 2021 Virtual Convention

REGISTRATION CLOSED ON MARCH 17, 2021

The Passaic Spring 2021 Virtual Convention will take place on Monday, March 22, 2021 from 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM. We are excited about the many offerings available to our team members as a part of our March professional development day. Nearly all of the professional learning will be lead by our own teammates.

There are populations of team members that may be contacted directly by a district leader from the Division of Curriculum & Instruction for sessions they are required to attend. If you have not been already registered for a session required, feel free to contact a content supervisor to be sure you are able to select your own Convention schedule.
