WELCOME
BACK, TEACHERS! ~ 2006-07 school year off to
a fast start
School opened up this week to
thousands of students and teachers as the new
year began. ProStart is already on a fast start
as the new teacher training session took place
in August, and the all ProStart teacher professional
development meeting is scheduled for Chemeketa
Community College on October 13, 2006 (inservice
day). This year, we have 45 total high schools
involved with the ProStart program. Just 4 years
ago, there were 19 schools. We'd like to welcome
Corbett, Crow, McMinnville, Umatilla, Pendleton,
Newberg, Corvallis and Philomath to the ProStart
group, and the following new hires: Alan Joynson
(Tillamook County Schools Hospitality Program),
Dorothy Henson (Scappoose) and Hope Roccasalva
(Mountain View). Things are looking great and
the 2006-07 year is going to be the best ever!
