Welcome Back

On behalf of Heartland Area Education Agency, I’d like to extend a warm 'welcome back' to all of you. I hope you join me in my excitement for the start of another school year, and look forward to the opportunity to partner together to make a positive impact on students—all 140,000 of them in Heartland’s service area.

I invite you to take interest in this Heartland AEA Administrator Connection blog. The Administrator Connection is updated every Friday (excluding holidays and summer vacation) to inform area superintendents, principals, curriculum directors and other school leaders of important announcements, agency news, professional development opportunities and other key information items. Please consider using the Administrator Connection as a means of exchanging ideas, offering feedback and sharing information with each other.

To our superintendent colleagues, we invite you to join us for our monthly Heartland Administrator Association (HAA) meetings. The meetings are a time to learn together, collaborate and exchange information around contemporary educational issues. The meetings are held at the Heartland AEA Johnston Regional Education Center from 9:00 to 11:50 a.m. on the first Tuesday of every month. This year’s first HAA meeting will be on September 4, 2012.

At Heartland AEA, we will do our best to be a valued partner with you in our joint efforts to assure quality outcomes for those we serve. Please do not hesitate to contact your regional director or me with questions, comments and suggestions at any time.

Best regards,

Paula Vincent

Chief Administrator
