Upcoming PSGs - save the date
It is that time of the term again where we ask families of funded students to book a time for PSG meetings with teachers to review goals from Personalised Learning Plans (PLPS). These meetings will take place on Monday 14th June, Tuesday 15th June, Wednesday 16th June and Friday 18th June. A letter and booking code will be emailed to families who require PSGs by the end of next week.
Parent information sessions / training.
Do you need more information about diagnosis or how to deal with your child's behaviours? Often I am asked where can I find information for this?
Below are a few helpful websites or organisations that may be able to assist you with some of your concerns. Many provide newsletter subscriptions / information sessions and courses that parents can subscribe to.
