Please plan to arrive at 7:45 a.m., as we will begin the program at 8 a.m. The program will begin at 190 Salisbury Street, which is a property owned by AAS called the Goddard-Daniels House.

Parking is on-street only and will be available on Regent Street, Montvale Avenue, and Massachusetts Avenue. We encourage you to car pool with your fellow teachers.

High school teachers, please leave all unnecessary bags and personal items at home or in your car. You will spend part of the day in the AAS library, and it is library policy that for security reasons all purses and other personal items must be secured in lockers. Having to put your belongings in a locker will slow us down considerably! All you will need is a pencil (pens are not allowed in the library); laptops can also be accommodated. You may also want to bring a sweater, as the library is climate-controlled and tends to be on the colder side.
