If you are planning to student teach in Fall 2013 and have not yet filled out a yellow card, please visit Room 120, Stayer Hall.  The cards are on a podium outside of the office.  Simply fill out the card and deposit it in the box on the lower shelf of the podium.  This will ensure that you are included on the Fall 2013 roster of student teachers.  The Student Teaching Office will notify you, via your MyVille email account, when additional paperwork is required.  Please get into the habit of checking your MyVille email account, and this website, regularly since this is our venue for keeping student teachers updated on current information.  We're looking forward to working with you!
