SRO update - As you may have noticed we have a temporary School Resource Officer in the building. Officer Abby Behnke and Officer Sully (wonderful labradoodle) are serving as our SRO for the time being. Abby has come to us from the Middle School where she has served as their SRO for a few years. The SRO position is posted and Everest Metro intends to do their internal interviews in the coming weeks. We hope that we have a permanent SRO in place the beginning of January. In the meantime if you need anything from Officer Abby please reach out at abehnke@dce.k12.wi.us.

REMINDER: Autism Training - Don’t forget that Lisa Ladson will be in the district next week, Thursday, December 8th, and Friday December 9th for her first of three scheduled visits this year. She will be providing PD on the evening of the 8th for teachers and associates. All of her PD opportunities are on Frontline for staff to sign-up - associates may get paid for this training. A reminder of her first session:
- January 18 and 19
- How to Manage When Emotions Get Big - Do you know students who get stuck in emotional responses, sometimes leading to meltdowns or dysregulation? Are you feeling stuck with what strategies to use to help them support them in calming down? Emotional regulation is one’s ability to recognize and process emotions as well as one’s ability to manage or balance emotional responses. In this training, participants will receive an overview of the neurological and physiological responses that can be activated when students (and adults!) are experiencing a stress response. We will explore practices and strategies to use to help us all regulate our stress responses and return to a calmer state of being.
- February 2 and 3
- Understanding, Supporting and Teaching Executive Functioning Skills for your Students - The purpose of this training is to help participants identify specific areas of executive functioning deficits in their students and develop the ability to effectively support and teach students who struggle with executive functioning skills. This includes identifying students who struggle with organization, planning, initiation, staying on task, impulse control, emotional regulation and adaptability and resiliency. The educational impact of each of these areas will be explored and discussed. Participants will learn strategies and supports that can be used to address executive functioning challenges as it relates to classroom participation and performance
