Requested Item: School/District Academic Composite Calendar
Each year, Heartland AEA makes a composite calendar with all our schools'/districts' start dates, teacher workdays/in-services, early dismissals, holidays/no school days, etc. We create this composite by gathering districts' and non-public schools' calendars. We make the composite to help our regional directors, practitioners, library staff and van delivery staff be more aware of what's happening in your district and how best to serve you. When your 2012-2013 academic calendar is approved, please send it to Claire Sowder at csowder@aea11.k12.ia.us.
Iowa's AEAs are "Impacting Lives"
Through their many years of service, Iowa’s Area Education Agencies have impacted the lives of many Iowa children, youth and educators. Individuals have shared how Iowa’s AEAs have supported them in the latest edition of Impacting Lives, a blog newsletter that shares AEA stories across the state.
