This was a huge asset to me because Holman’s transition program this year was fo approximately 300 students and ther parents. Each student needs to register, check-in, havea schedule forthe day to fllow, and receive a flder specific to them. This requies attention to etl, ganization, and ime management—all of which Julie does well! Julie and I sx weekly ‘meetings, which se always arrived on ime fr, and she consist hal her asks completed well before the deadline. Her creativity and knowledge of technology was a great hsp to me when brainstorming and implemensing new ideas.
