The final details have been tweaked and the schedule is ready for the next 3 days. Thank-you again to everyone for working together to make this happen.  Please do your absolute best to be on time for sessions and for subbing (maybe a few mins early:)

Please remember to bring writing samples to our afternoon PD session tomorrow.
