1.) Early Learning Virtual Professional Development Day: Registration is OPEN
We are less than a month away from our second annual Early Learning Virtual Professional Development Day on Friday, February 11th from 8:45am – 3:30pm. Registration for sessions is OPEN! Registration closes on Friday, February 4th. Please register as soon as possible and please pass on this opportunity to all those on your staff team. Looking forward to a great day of Professional Development.
2.) Licensed Only: Licensed Program Webinar Recording: PACE option for Job Role Education Requirement in MERIT
As staff are selecting the option that works best for them to meet their Job Role Education Requirement in MERIT; this webinar explains the new DCYF PACE program – a new option to meet that requirement for Assistant Teachers and Lead Teachers. Please view the meeting recording below. I have also included last month’s webinar on the different options to meet the Job Role Education Requirement.
3.) Free At-Home COVID-19 Tests Available to U.S. Households
The Biden Administration
recently announced that American households can order four at-home rapid COVID-19 tests for free. You can order your free at-home tests online now at
www.covidtests.gov. This program will limit the number of tests sent to each residential address to four tests. Tests will be mailed directly through the United States Postal Service and are expected to ship within 7-12 days of ordering. For additional information and frequently asked questions, visit
www.covidtests.gov. If the tests are temporarily out of stock they will be resupplied shortly.
Thank you and have a wonderful week!
