Please join us for the next Special Needs PTSA meeting on February 21 at 7:00pm at the Resource Center.  This month Sarah Gardner, a Behavior Specialist from Bellevue College will discuss  Building Self-Regulation and Self-Efficacy in Children and Youth with Disabilities .

Is living a self-sufficient, fulfilling life simply a matter of learning activities of daily living and soft skills? Research suggests otherwise! How do we instill the bedrock of success in our children - ensuring that they have the emotional fortitude to face the problems that come their way? In this workshop, we'll take a look at the research behind motivation, learn how to effectively teach children to think for themselves, solve problems across settings, and, build frustration tolerance, cognitive flexibility, and self-efficacy. If you want more for your child, you'll want to join us! 

Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) has translated five of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) flyers into 8 languages, spoken by Washington students. Those flyers address some of the biggest pieces of ESSA, including: 

Title I: Federal Programs, 

Title II: Teacher & Principal Quality, &

Title III: English Learners, as well as Equity and 21st Century Community Learning Centers.

These flyers were created to help readers understand the new federal education law-without first taking a course in legalese. They have been translated into Arabic, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Somali, Tagalog, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese. English-language flyers are available on the ESSA resource page
