A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
At the White Plains Public Schools Adult & Continuing Education Program it continues to be our privilege to serve you in providing classes that meet your changing needs as lifelong learners.
We hope that bringing the Adult & Continuing Education Program’s course offerings brochure directly to your computer has been helpful and convenient. Fiscal conservation and ecological conservation both are priorities that are part of our planning process. With that in mind, this electronic platform of registration and dissemination of class offerings will soon be the exclusive means of marketing and registration for Continuing Education classes.
Online registration for Spring classes is available beginning January 6, 2010. I invite you to visit us online to browse through our catalogue at your leisure. When you find a course that is of interest to you, you can register online, all from the comfort of your personal computer. Simply click here to BROWSE THROUGH OUR CURRENT BROCHURE & REGISTER ONLINE. Once on the site, select a category, sort by title or start date, and click to view. Then follow the directions to view and register for classes.
We have gotten some very helpful feedback from you in the past and I look forward to your input on how we can better serve you in the future. So please email me at claudiamurphy@wpcsd.k12.ny.us.
As always, I encourage you to participate in all that our school community has to offer, including Adult & Continuing Education, and I look forward to seeing you in classes this school year!
Best Wishes,
Claudia Murphy
