Save the Date for the VCTM Academy in Virginia Beach 

Because VCTM is one of the hosts for the regional conference (see below), in March VCTM will sponsor an Academy rather than the Spring Conference. The dates are March 6-7, 2015 and the location is Virginia Beach.  There will be grade band themes for K-2, 3-5, 6-8, Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2 and above.  Stay tuned for more information but mark it on your calendar now.
