TO VIEW WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION AND DETAILS: Click on the workshop name at right.
TO REGISTER FOR SUMMER WORKSHOP SESSIONS: Click here to register. Only electronic registration will be accepted!
Registration deadline: Please register for any workshop at least seven days prior to the workshop date. (Exception: Staff should register for the May 22nd K-6 Writing Proficiency session no later than Friday, May 18.)
- Registration for some workshops may be limited due to space or available funding. Priority will be determined by the training needs of the registrants and/or date registration is received.
- Although not anticipated, a workshop may be cancelled due to low enrollment or funding issues; in the event of a cancelled session, every effort will be made to notify everyone who signed up.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: Grant funding allows the district to offer the majority of these professional development opportunities. For a number of grants, a certain percentage of funding is required to be used for professional development. For others, including several competitive grants, the entire funding amount must be dedicated to professional development.
- Please be considerate of and honor the commitment you have made when you sign up for a session. Check your summer calendar and workshop dates carefully so that you do not register for a session you cannot attend or register for more than one workshop offered on the same date. Materials are prepared and/or purchased and budgets are planned based on the registrations submitted. IF YOU MUST CANCEL, call or email Jackie Schlipmann in a timely manner (228-7158, ext. 2230; schlipja@qps.org).
- MARK YOUR CALENDAR WHEN YOU SIGN UP—No confirmations or reminder notices will be sent! You will be notified if a workshop is cancelled or if there is a change in location, time, etc. Otherwise, you should plan to attend the workshop(s) you have selected at the time and place indicated in the workshop description.
- In addition to the district-provided in-service sessions listed in this booklet, several building-level in-service trainings and activities are being planned and will be communicated to you through your administrator.
