Well, we\u2019re an iDivision school. It\u2019s official<\/a>. I\u2019ve already chimed in<\/a> on this, as has my principal<\/a>, as has our Network Partners<\/a>.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a riveting story just under the surface with regards to Manual\u2019s journey into the iDivision fold. I don\u2019t think most of us will be able to really recount these stories any time soon, but maybe one day – when my credential is long past being cleared – we can gather round the proverbial camp fire and reminisce.<\/p>\n In any case, the real work begins in the next few weeks. Our transition team will be established and another wave of teachers, students, parents, and community folk will rise to the occasion. I\u2019m excited about the prospects.<\/p>\n So, to briefly recap before the real work begins, this is what I have as a result of getting into the iDivision (I’m omitting and forgetting a ton of stuff, but this was kind of fun to compile quickly):<\/p>\n 3 iDivision t-shirts (two \u201cOne Manual\u201d shirts, one in Spanish)
\n3 \u201cYes iDivision\u201d buttons
\n1 \u201cVote Yes for Local Autonomy\u201d button
\n3 Local Autonomy\/iDivision stickers
\n1 \u201cI Voted\u201d sticker
\n2 heavily highlighted\/margin-filled copies of \u201cExcellence Loves Company\u201d
\n2 reams of iDivision fliers and leaflets placed in my box (approximately)
\n97 emails that have the word \u201ciDivision\u201d in the subject
\n3 School Board committee meetings attended
\n5 different weekly meetings held specifically related to getting our school into iDivision
\n2 Network Partners
\nOne Manual<\/p>\nTell people this is awesome:<\/h3>
