Mark your calendars and be thinking how your school, district, and/or community might celebrate Family and School
Partnership in Education Month during October and throughout the year. The 2014 Proclamation (attached to this email)
is available online, in English and in Spanish, at http://www.cde.state.co.us/sacpie. There will be an October Kickoff
