Athens State RIC Preservice
Fall 2026
Welcome Back to Athens State!
We are excited about the new school year and this semester's learning opportunities for our Preservice Teachers. Each semester, the Athens State Regional Inservice Center (RIC) will share our latest newsletter just for Preservice students. Be sure to mark your calendars (October 26 & 27) for Preservice professional learning with ARI and MTSS. I've also included the dates for AMSTI preservice days. Finally, be sure to check out the PowerSchool Professional Learning presentation. This information will show you the steps to creating a PowerSchool PL account.
If you have specific questions concerning any professional learning opportunity, please reach out to Brad Lewis Brad.Lewis@athens.edu or call us at (256) 233-6574.
Have a great Fall Semester!
