Elana prefers a face shield. Anthony a mask. But these two UNI education professors, who've been married 28 years and published papers together, are united on the importance of wearing face coverings. #ProtectingOurPanthers#MaskUpIA
@Emoryeet@DMschools@VirtualDMPS Emory, we will have Spanish I and II next year and offer all courses needed for college, including adding AP offerings. Teams me if you have questions!
We are excited to get the school year started. We have missed our students! Our courses will be offered via a Virtual or Hybrid Model. We hope to share our final plan for course delivery later this week. Thank you for your patience & understanding with our scheduling process.

As high schools and colleges across the country have changed graduation ceremonies, the staff at DMPS has been working hard to do more. In June we will be holding personal commencements, a chance to celebrate the Class of 2020 one graduate at a time. https://t.co/cx6BUZGjDx
