how does mtss tie into iep?

Are the SEL team members all trained in aspects of Gifted student oversensitive, etc.?

I love what I heard about ALPs tonight; however, my experience for many years is that they don't really matter, there isn't much collaboration in creating them, little overall focus, and really little to no communication about them to parents or kids. What is being done to address this, even based on several surveys that have provided similar feedback over the years?

No questions, but a huge thank you to Dr. Leach for all of that wonderful overview of the MTSS.

I agree with your comments Amy. Especially as we’ve moved from elementary to middle school and are getting ready for high school.

My child is 100% remote learning this year. I have no training in mental health. As a parent, how do I learn to recognize weak signals that she is struggling and needs help? Her teacher is amazing, but there is only so much she can see through a screen for a limited period of time each day.

We’re not in a GT Center school for middle school but I’m hearing that the GT trainings are open to all district mental health workers?

I had asked a question about ALPs up above as well.

I ECHO this concern re: screen time

Dr. Leach's email is Susan.Leach@jeffco.k12.co.us

We would be grateful if we moved away from 1:1 devices

Too many distractions and temptations

Are there any resources for remote parents to help keep kids engaged?

Yes, agreed. The Chat feature is distracting!

Are there resources in the mental health and wellness hub specific to grief? We have lost multiple family members in the pandemic.

We reached out to our school’s resource teacher and were told that this was being centralized and isn’t being managed at the school level for ALPS
