STAR Teacher Nomination Packets Due January 14, 2016

From Gail Marie Taylor, PHR
Hi All,

Many thanks to all of you that have provided the name of the Teacher from your building that you would like to nominate as STAR Teacher for 2016.

The next step in the process is for the teachers to start completing the nomination packet with your assistance. I’ve attached a copy nomination packet for your reference and it will be emailed to the teachers under separate cover.

Thanks!

Gail Marie
