Welcome Assistant Principals and Deans!

It was terrific to see you at this year's conference. Please take an opportunity to share about what you learned. In particular, what is something you can apply immediately in your leadership setting? Take an opportunity to start a discussion group if there is a particular topic with which you would like to collaborate. If there's anything IPA can do for you, give us a call. Have a wonderful rest of the year.

Unless they are competting in interscholastic sports (i.e. IHSA or IESA), the only required physicals are when students enter kindergarte, fifth and ninth grades. Obviously, you can require addtional if you deem it necessary. Hope this helps.

Comment by Jason Karstens on May 14, 2009 at 8:59am: Are physical examinations required to partake in a school fitness program? Not sure if will be mandatory or voluntary (if that makes a difference)?

Thanks

Comment by Tony Wilkinson on February 11, 2009 at 8:47pm: This was my first IPA Conference. I thought that it was great and well worth everything. I am in the process of thinking of different ways to make my school a better place for the students, staff, and of course administration. I learned a lot from the great presenters and the knowledgable attendees.

Comment by Jason Karstens on February 9, 2009 at 2:32pm: This was my first administrators conference. I was not disappointed. I can't wait to implement some of the new ideas. It was great meeting new friends and networking partners.

Comment by Brett McPherson on February 6, 2009 at 9:40am: Outstanding Conference! A huge thanks to all those involved at the IPA office in Springfield, your tireless efforts are much appreciated. This conference has proven to "re-charge" my batteries each of the years I've attended. The topics this year were very practical. I was able to come back to school and start implementing many of these ideas immediately.

Comment by Julie Weichert on February 6, 2009 at 9:00am: Thank you for attending the '09 AP Conference. It was a pleasure as always to work on this conference and to meet many of you. Please check the Members Only section of the IPA website in the next several days to check out pictures from Conference and electronic copies of session handouts. If there is anything we can do for you, please don't hesitate to contact us. Julie

Comment by Heather Landrus on February 6, 2009 at 7:22am: Thank you to everyone that had a hand in this year's AP conference. The topics were informative and very helpful. I look forward to attending next year!!!!

Comment by Bill Geasa on February 5, 2009 at 8:13pm: Met with union rep and we are already coordinating walkthroughs. I gained from each session attended, and look to apply many different lessons, but definitely found the walkthroughs the most immediate gain, since it gets me into the classroom more.

Comment by Patrick Olmsted on February 5, 2009 at 6:40pm: This was one of the better AP conferences that I have attended.

Comment by Scott Bloomquist on February 5, 2009 at 5:13pm: I had a great time. This conference had the best workshops and speakers from beginning to end. Every workshop was relevant and meaningful.
