wanted!

Students in Ms. Gabriella’s Language Arts class are preparing for their study of Shakespeare by having fun with these “Wanted” posters. Have you seen any of these suspicious characters? Perhaps at Target or Walmart?

And coming soon … Romeo and Juliet. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner!

SWIDA
Parent Support Meetings

The Southwest Branch of the International Dyslexia Association (SWIDA) is proud to present Parent Support Meetings on a bi-monthly basis to provide a forum for families of students with Dyslexia. These meetings will be led by Dr. Sunaina Shenoy, who is an Assistant Professor at the University of New Mexico and whose research expertise is in the area of identifying Dyslexia in bilingual and multilingual populations.

For our first meeting on February 9th at 5:30pm MST, which will be offered via a synchronous online Zoom platform, we plan to kick off the series by hearing from parents about topics that are of interest to them and what they might be interested in learning more about for future meetings.

Based on this, Dr. Shenoy will:

(a) reach out to guest speakers and panelists, such as researchers, teachers, educators, and other stakeholders who are happy to share their experiences and expertise with parents;

(b) find specific resources for parents to help their children with reading, math, and writing at home; and

(c) prepare mini lessons on topics of interest such as the IEP process, eligibility determination, understanding the federal register, understanding formal reports, parent advocacy etc.

Register here! We look forward to hosting this event series and connecting with parents in our communities.
