On behalf of Heartland Area Education Agency, I’d like to extend a warm 'welcome back' to all of you for the coming 2009-2010 school year. We hope you've had an enjoyable and relaxing summer and are as excited and ready as we are to start the new school year. As always, let Heartland AEA help you extend your reach to better serve you and your districts to increase student achievement.
I invite you to take interest in this Heartland AEA Administrator Connection blog. The Administrator Connection is sent every Friday (excluding holidays and summer vacation) with important information, deadlines and professional development and scholarship opportunities for school administrators, teachers and students.
To our superintendent collegues, we invite you to join us for our monthly Heartland Administrator Association meetings. The meetings are a time to come together, collaborate and discuss educational laws and standards and district-wide issues. The meetings are held at the West Des Moines Learning Resource 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 1, 2009.
If you have any questions about what Heartland AEA can do for you, please don’t hesitate to contact me at sking@aea11.k12.ia.us or (515) 270-9030. Questions and comments can also be addressed to the Heartland Communications Department at comms@aea11.k12.ia.us.
Best regards,
Sheila King
Interim Chief Administrator
