New Beginnings:
EdVision -
Welcome to a New School
Year
in M-DCPS Adult
Education
Our adults
receive the best
education when everyone
works as a team. It's
the team's enthusiasm,
support, and involvement
that inspire students to
do their best. The
teacher's ability to
teach what the students
need to learn is an
extremely important part
of the equation.
There is a lot of
excitement ahead of us,
including; new programs,
new initiatives, and new
friends to meet. We look
forward to sharing those
exciting times through
EdVision.
I thank you for your
commitment to our
students' education and
the friendly learning
environment that you
create that will allow
our students to excel.
In closing, we encourage
you to fully embrace the
moment and urge you to
take the time from your
busy schedules to become
familiar with what is
happening at the
Division of Adult and
Workforce Education.
We look forward to
sharing EdVision with
you throughout the
2012-2013 school year.
