Let's connect! Starting Thursday, April 2nd (3-4PM), our team will host an optional community time. We'll play games, swap stories, and laugh a bit (or hopefully a whole lot). Right now, this time is meant for your leadership team and quarterback in hopes that our time can spark some inspiration on how you might connect with your whole staff during these virtual times. A recurring calendar invite will be sent out to principal and quarterback, so please pass along to additional leadership team members as you see fit. Hope to see you all there! Our first #PLFamily Community Time this Thursday will be playing a game called, Finish the Lyric. Community time will replace the March and April QB huddles. Webinars to Support At-Home Learning The PL Team has joined efforts with Teaching and Learning and School Leadership to help support the transition to At-Home Learning through webinars. In each webinar, we aim to spotlight the incredible work that is happening across our PL Cohort and District with invitations to join and share briefly what you're doing. These webinars will be posted on the Teacher At-Home Learning Resource Website as well as shared through principal update emails from School Leadership, so please feel free to share with your staff. Click on the schedules below to access a shareable document for you include in an upcoming campus newsletter or to share directly with your teachers.   If you would like to request a webinar topic or have teacher(s) who are using these tools that we could highlight, please reach out to your PL team coach. FELLOWSHIP APPLICATION UPDATE- EXTENDED
