A District-Wide Symposium Will Be Held on September 3, 2024

We will have a District-Wide Symposium as our Professional Learning on September 3, 2024.

The theme of our Symposium will be "Moving the Focus From Teaching to Learning" with sessions designed around the OPS Strategy Playbook.

To offer choice, we need the support of educators to develop and lead sessions.

In order to assist with this process
