Parking Update!
All visitors to the CTE Open House can park in the High School parking lot. You will need to either walk through the High School to get to the awning that leads to the CTE building OR there will be an air conditioned shuttle that will take you to the back of the campus. The back of the High School will be roped off to lead visitors to the CTE building and away from ongoing construction. See you tomorrow afternoon.
A quick reminder...
Please make plans to attend the Grand Opening Celebration of the Joe Tom Braden Career and Technical Education Center on Sunday, August 9, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to tour and learn about this remarkable brand-new facility at CPCISD!! Ceremony will begin at 2:15 p.m. See you there!
We spent an amazing morning with George Couros, a nationally-known (strike that... internationally-known) educational speaker and author who took time to pour insight and motivation into the CPCISD staff. We were thankful to spend the morning with you; and please know, your ideas and your words will infuse our days as we start this GREAT year!
P.S. Billy Madison changed my life, too! #georgecouros.ca
