Organizing Your Family with Free Tools from Google
You know organizational skills are important to teach and model for your children, and more importantly, they can help you organize your family schedule and needs. In this session we will use free Google Tools (Google Calendar, Docs, Keep, Tasks) and learn how to organize and safely share schedules, notes, and alerts to family members. Your child may already be using Google Classroom at school, now you can learn how to guide them in scheduling, organizing, and notetaking for future success.
Please come with a Google account email address and password that you will use actively - if you know the Google email addresses of family members that will help also! If you have a laptop or tablet, please bring it with you.

Parental Participation in the ARD Committee Meeting
Parents/guardians have a critical role in the Admission, Review and Dismissal (ARD) committee meeting process. Sometimes parents can feel uncertain of the process or how they should participate and ask questions. Join us for this session to discuss practical tips for effective communication, conflict resolution, and additional strategies that you can use in your next ARD committee meeting when planning appropriate services for your child. We will also discuss options available to address disagreements, resolve conflict and build consensus while keeping the lines of communication between you and the school open.
