Training and Information Sessions

Teachers, Please Note:
Due to recent State budget cuts we have made the following changes to our Teacher training program:

Beginning August 1st, 2011 we will charge a small fee to offset the cost of teacher training.
Teacher Registration will be by mail, we will no longer take reservations over the phone.
The current teacher registration form is in the box to the right.

We will continue to offer in-service contacts hours for our training but we are working hard to provide affordable CEUs in the upcoming year.
