Professional Development Plan - We've submitted our completed professional development plan to IPS. Here's a view for FY2005. Thanks for submitting your requests. We are all going to get a little smarter this year.

IPS annual conference - I've had two emails from Kim Arms about what we should wear during the IPS annual conference in September. Here they are:
"As you know, 2004 IPS Annual Conference will be held Sept 15/16 in Gatlinburg. We will send a more detailed schedule as the time nears.
IMPORTANT: Dress for annual conference is business casual. I have had several questions regarding what business casual means....for IPS conference that means no jeans, shorts or flip flops....capri pants are ok for women. We have will several outside guests including Dr. Petersen." "To follow up on my email from last week......no shorts or flip flops during annual conference. I've had questions regarding the cookout on Wed night....shorts are fine for this outdoor event."

Recovering - Ray Crouch is back at work and dancing in the halls. Or, at least, that is what I'm told. Based on his email last week, I'm not going to check.

Dead printer - The codes printer quit working last week. It was so dead that Steve brought a handful plastic pieces to Lisa to show her just how dead it was. Luckily, we had budgeted a new printer for this year and Lisa installed it last week. So now, instead of a dead printer, codes has this new printer.
