To foster maximum collaboration, we strongly encourage entire teams—including Licensed Special Education Teachers, School Psychologists, and Instructional Assistants—to attend the session together. Principals are welcome to join with their team.
Please note that part-time Instructional Assistants will be compensated for their participation through a JSD Timesheet.
