Due to concerns about weather across Louisiana tonight and into tomorrow, we will be delaying the start until 10 a.m. and will end at 4:30pm on Tuesday, January 29.

If weather prohibits you from attending your cohort, please go to https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/54970ae5b8744628b2334759dcdad6bf to register to attend one of the cohorts scheduled for next week.  You should change dates only with another cohort of the same type as yours. (For example, if you are in a Elementary cohort, you can request a change to attend with another Elementary cohort.) (See all cohort dates here)

If you need a hotel room, you are welcome to make reservations at the Homewood Suites by Hilton – Lafayette Airport or at another hotel of your choice. In order to receive the group rate for participants at the Homewood Suites, please call 337-264-6044 and ask for the Charles A. Dana Center room block. The group rate is available until January 11 or until the block has been filled.  Please choose a hotel that fits your district's budget requirements that allows participants to get to the venue for both days of training. Note: Always be sure to inquire about taxes and fees on the hotel rate to get a true total for your stay.

Please note: It is important that you attend all sessions. If you have a conflict with a cohort session date, please look at the other cohort meeting dates and submit a change form to attend another cohort for those sessions no later than 1 week prior to any date in your request. Note: You should change dates only with another cohort of the same type as yours. (For example, if you are in a Secondary ELA cohort and have a conflict with the dates for sessions 2-3, you can request a change to attend the sessions 2-3 with the other Secondary ELA cohort. You cannot change to attend sessions 2-3 with an elementary cohort.) Changes are made on a limited basis and are subject to space availability. (See all cohort dates here)
