One of the things I asked her to do was provide us a <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1x8eEM25CsKh6T9Hc9VM4OuZVmQqCiq2t\/view?usp=sharing\">list of students in Head Start with their prospective schools<\/a>. Our hope is that with this list, schools may be able to reach out to families pointed their way. We believe this could accomplish many things including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensuring these students get registered on time<\/li>\n<li>Creating an early connection to the school<\/li>\n<li>Helping schools get to know these students and their needs ahead of time, eliminating the surprises we often get<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The above linked roster includes email contacts and you are welcome to use those to reach out to prospective families. Please use this as you see fit. Once again, this is an effort to help the transition for students, families and schools.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>CPR\/ First Aid-<\/strong><\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1dpdp_81DdOtbdJdCDrgPFZb152mx8Naq\/view?usp=sharing\">Updated list of CPR\/First Aid certifications<\/a> in schools.
