GPAEA Alerts - Page 6

With many of our schools delaying their start times today (11/30), we have decided to postpone the Dyslexia/Dysgraphia class, and will schedule a make up date soon.  Since we are offering for graduate credit, we will not have the needed amount of seat time hours if we have a late start, and we do not want anyone on the roads if their district has a delay.  We will let you know the date for the make up session as soon as we are able to get it scheduled.  Thank you for understanding.  

No Dyslexia/Dysgraphia Class Tuesday, November 27th in Burlington

ALL GPAEA OFFICES WILL BE CLOSED ON 11/26: All GPAEA Offices (Albia, Burlington, Fairfield, Mount Pleasant & Ottumwa) will be closed on Monday, November 26. This also means that any workshops scheduled in those offices are canceled.
