Charter School Teachers List
Charter School Connections
This is an unofficial and informal listserv for people interested in or working in charter schools across the US. The inspiration for this is the wonderful ISED listserv (http://www.milton.edu/ISED-L/). Charter school people need an online niche, too!
The purpose of this list is to facilitate conversation and the sharing of resources. This list is not limited to just tech talk. Teachers and adminis… Continue

In this contest, students are asked to ponder the question, "What if..." and use their imaginations to construct their very own Google Doodle. The winner will have their doodle appear on Google's home page for a day… Continue

I remember you from your visit very well. I'm glad to hear you made it back for your 25th.
I hear from Mara and others at LFCDS every once in awhile, but I have not been back since the renovations were done. I have heard it is terrific!
If you see Curt Lieneck please give him my regards. Stay well, Sam

I haven't seen you in a while, but I still check out your Friday 5 when I need ideas for my teachers.
Did you set up a language learning lab at the Lab school? We have some money, now I'm looking for ideas.
Have a great Thanksgiving!

Glad you got home safe and sound. Happy Thanksgiving. - Alex
