Announcements/ Reminders
* Jenny is interested in having a math committee evaluate our current math program and other available programs.  It would be great to have a representative from each grade level serve on this committee.  Please let Jenny know by Friday if you are interested in participating.
* Please complete this survey created by the Parker Personal Financial Literacy (PFL) Cadre between September 15-26th.  PFL is working with Great West Financial to implement and enhance PFL across the district.  Their first step is to determine the need for Financial Literacy in the Parker area and they would like to do so by asking teachers  to complete the survey to can gain more information about the need for PFL in our schools. Megan will work with students to complete the student survey during technology time.
