Summer Post - July 12, 2013

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer thus far.

The yearly rollover in Genesis will be completed as of July 17.  After the 17th, teachers will be able to access their Gradebook, see class rosters, input assignments, etc.  If anyone was interested.

Congratulations to Michael Pepe and his wife on the birth of their first child

PD Resources 

Below are two blog posts I recently read that focus on how educators can make differences in their students lives, co-workers and most importantly their own.  Teaching and learning together can be very rewarding and can help create positive changes.  

Vicki Davis ( @coolcatteacher ) has a great blog "Cool Cat Teacher".  Her blog is a must follow for all educators.    
Why teachers should help lead a thankful revolution 

John Robinson ( @21stprincipal ) is a Principal from North Carolina who has an outstanding blog "21st Century Principal"
