We've done more than just slap a fresh coat of paint on our website; we've torn it down to the studs and built from the ground up. One of the easiest ways to make the most of the new site is to log in and fill out your profile. When you do that, you'll start to see blog posts and events on the homepage tailored just for you.

In an effort to provide all Bellingham School District high school students with opportunities for remediation, exploration, and acceleration within the school day, the district drastically changed the high school schedule for each comprehensive high school across the entire district. They even moved start times back based on current research. With students, teachers, and building- and district-level administrators all working together, they came up with a system they believe will provide a better experience for all their students.

In this episode of AWSP News, we discuss National Assistant Principals Week, FINAO's Educator Advisory Board, the Governor's Arts and Heritage Awards, a pair of equity conferences, the NASSP Digital Principal of the Year nominations, some tips from "Dr. Roz," and two great and inspirational ideas (one of them will make your eyes water from our favorite episode ever).
