Get School Psych'd

Hello LSSPs,

I first want to say thank you for all who attended, in person or virtually, our 1st ever Interdisciplinary Collaborative Evaluations Symposium on March 22nd. We got a lot of great feedback and are happy to provide the opportunity to our amazing evaluators out in the field. We hope you will join us next year when our partner ESC, Region 11, will be hosting the event.

I hope everyone is staying afloat with this big push for the end of the year. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything.

Keeping on being School Psych'd!
