Do you want to learn more about the power of the data warehouse to support school
improvement? Sign up for a training class via Enroll to learn some tricks of the
trade! Go to the Apps page and click on Enroll; go to Technology and click on Data
Warehouse to see a list of current training opportunities. Kudos to those of you who
