MMM Summer Sessions

Mark your calendar!

Image: 'Farewell February'

ManACE/MindSet/Microsoft Summer Sessions


Most of the sessions are two-day sessions, but there are a few that are only one day long. The registration fee for all sessions is $35.00 (plus $1.86 registration fee) which is mainly to cover food costs. This is our first increase in more than 5 years! The main costs are covered by MindSet and Microsoft and we appreciate their support very much.

Note that we have:
• some specialized Smartboard sessions and
• one for resource teachers or anyone working with special needs students.


We still have to finalize a couple of sessions so check back, on the registration site, if you don’t find what you need.

Dates: July 5/6, July 7/8, Aug 30/31

We have some sessions in Winnipeg (at various locations) and some in Elm Creek (it’s worth the trip) and Sunrise SD (also worth a trip).

Register early to avoid disappointment. Registration will close on June 25 so we can let instructors know how many people will be in their sessions.

You must use a credit card and register online. We use Paypal to collect the fees, but you DO NOT need a Paypal account to register, just a credit card. If you are reluctant to use your credit card online, ask your principal or superintendent to register for you.
