On Thursday, September 17th, 2009, the Alberta Distance Learning Centre, Lethbridge Office is hosting a Partnership Update Session where we will provide information on all that is new at ADLC.

This is your opportunity to have questions answered, learn about new and revised programs, meet new people, be reacquainted with continuing staff as well as allow us to introduce new ADLC personnel. We value your partnership and we look forward to seeing you at this event.

Last spring we tried a new concept for these update meetings by introducing the break-out sessions. This was well received and we expanded it for the September 2009 meeting. We have now incorporated more of your feedback into this September 2009 session.

Sessions are intended for administrators, teachers, facilitators, and support staff. You are encouraged to attend as a full or partial day any session you feel will be of benefit to you and your school. Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided. We just ask that you please register in advance so that we can be prepared.
