Hello CSPES Family!
A couple of things.
1. First, I want to express my IMMENSE gratitude for all the hand warmers donations. They really do make the car line more bearable. Also, please remember to do your part and have the kids ready to jump out when you get to the drop-off area so that we can keep the line moving as fast as possible. Finally, feel free to join us on the car line at any time; we would love to have volunteers!
2. I am LOVING all of the poems that are rolling in for the 5 Star Poetry Competition. Remember the deadline is friday.
Have a great rest of the day and stay warm!
Today over 500 teaching assistants gathered virtually for AACPS' first Paraeducator Symposium, Empowering Paraeducators for Student Independence, organized by the Division of Specialized Instruction & Early Intervention Services.

Seeing families as valuable members of our students' teams, the latest edition of the Family Academy features a session entitled, Inclusion: What is it and Why is it so Important? available to watch on the Family Academy YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/iFNZlPKmG24 (English), https://youtu.be/HNv-TpYadzc (Spanish)
