    Hello participants - we regret to inform you that this event has been cancelled. Please see the message below from our partner. When the event is rescheduled in the future, we will notify you. Thank you! ________________________________________ IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON CODE.ORG CS FUNDAMENTALS WORKSHOPS IN WASHINGTON Dear CS Fundamentals workshop registrants, In an abundance of caution, we as the regional partner for Code.org have decided to cancel all Washington State CS Fundamentals K-5 trainings for the month of March. This was not a decision that we are taking lightly. We value our face-to-face workshops and understand the importance of our work with you as educators in helping students achieve. But in light of recent events across the world, we have an obligation to the health and safety of our partners, students, staff, and communities. We are joining many others around the country and world in collective action by avoiding non-critical travel and large group gatherings in hopes of slowing down the spread of COVID-19. These decisions were made with your safety and the safety of your collective communities in mind. At the appropriate time, we will work to reschedule these CS Fundamentals and other workshop opportunities that have been canceled. Please send questions or concerns to our AVID Code.org partnership team in Washington at code@avid.org. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding, AVID Code.org Partnership Team Code@avid.org
