Hey Region 1!

I hope you all have had a great week and that you have wonderful plans for our nice three-day weekend. 

This is going to be another exciting year for our Region.  We have scheduled three TABE 101 certification trainings as well as a CASAS certification training. Our first council meeting is scheduled for next week and we will begin planning our year of professional development.  If you have suggestions or needs please e-mail me.

I know that some of you may have tried to register for our BLOG and were unable to do so.  We are in the process of upgrading our blog and I will send out an e-mail when it has been complete.

Have a wonderful weekend and I look forward to seeing all of you at our trainings this year.
