NEW CONFERENCE DATE SET!!

October 3-4, 2008

Ridgewater College, Hutchinson, MN

The Statewide Paraprofessional Conference date has been changed from spring to fall this year. We hope this will provide paraprofessionals the opportunity to learn and apply new information and skills all through the year. Plan now to get your request in for professional development funds and JOIN US in the fall.
