Dear Northwest Iowa Colleagues,

Welcome NW District ICDA! We have some exciting things happening in our district this year and I hope you all take full advantage of all that this organization has to offer you! Please pay close attention to deadlines and other information as you navigate your way through another great school year. Check back often for more information regarding events and as always, please feel free to send me an email with any questions you may have. If I don't know the answer, I will find someone who does! Thanks to all of you who have volunteered in the past and for those of you willing to help make this another successful year in Northwest Iowa!

Sincerely,
Linda Johnson
