Welcome to the 2022-2023 School year!
I am excited to announce that the Summer Institute will be hosted by Digital ATDN this year!
The Summer Institute will be offered virtually and offer mini-sessions on different topics that will assist agencies at the beginning of the school year. Each mini-session will run for 45-minutes, made up of a 30-minute presentation and a 15-minute Q&A. All mini-sessions will be recorded and available at a later date for participants that attend the institute. Zoom links to the sessions will be emailed to the participants the day before the event.
You can see the name of the sessions and their descriptions below:
8:45 AM - 9:00 AM | Find What You Need When You Need It with Digital ATDN! Digital ATDN offers different services available for agencies to use throughout the school year.

We will show you where you can access and utilize these resources! (All Staff)
