2013 Conference Details

The conference is getting close, so I wanted to post some information that might be helpful.  If you have any questions, feel free to email me at anna.hartzog@trussvillecityschools.com.  We look forward to seeing you soon!  You can still register by clicking on the link in the previous post.

Schedule: We will begin the day with registration from 8:00 – 8:30 (we will have doughnuts and coffee available during this time). At 8:30 we will begin with our keynote address. The conference will conclude after a wonderful day of break-out sessions at 3:00.

Directions: Our high school is still relatively new, so many navigation/GPS systems cannot locate it correctly (but will instead take you to our old high school building). Please use the following directions:

From Birmingham take I-59 north to exit # 143. Turn right at the end of the exit ramp. Take a left at the second traffic light (Husky Pkwy) and go down the hill to HTHS.

From Gadsden take I-59 south to exit # 143. Turn right at the end of the exit ramp. Take a left at the next traffic light (Husky Pkwy) and go down the hill to HTHS.

From I-459 head north to I-59 north to exit # 143. Turn right at the end of the exit ramp. Take a left at the second traffic light (Husky Pkwy) and go down the hill to HTHS.

Cost: The cost to participate in the conference is $45 per person (excluding session presenters) and includes lunch (Zoe's), 6 hours of STI PD credit, and 2013 membership dues for ACTE. You can either mail your check ahead of time or bring it with you on the day of the conference. When you check in at the conference, you will be issued a receipt. If your school is paying for you to attend and requires an invoice, please email our treasurer atlacey.johnson@trussvillecityschools.com.
