The Substitute Symposium, held on July 25th, 2018, brought together district HR personnel to collaborate on the best practices for supporting and managing substitutes. It was a day of professional learning and networking that was both informative and enjoyable. Thank you to all who attended. Our team will continue to serve you and we wish you all the best in the upcoming school year!

ESI sponsored this event to celebrate opportunities for students and teachers through an international teacher exchange program. The program will bring teachers from Guatemala and Mexico to teach at Arizona schools.

The Guatemalan Vice Minister of Education, leaders of Guatemala’s University of San Carlos and University of the Valley (del Valle), and the CEO of Hope of Life Guatemala were all special guests of the event held on July 10 at Phoenix Elementary School District #1.
