From Sean Reinhart:
The HDESD is excited to share the Paraeducator Professional Development webpage, compiled by the Culture of Care Coaches (link below).
For leaders and administrators, there is a catalogue of opportunities at the top of the page, that allows you to view the comprehensive list of PD in the event you want to plan and organize specific content for certain programs/staff. In addition, there is a Professional Development Reflection Document that can be used by staff.
All of the content is then divided into categories on the webpage, with a variety of resource links/videos for paraeducators to access. It will be updated weekly with new resources/links.

From Shannon Watters:
To Case Mangers with Seniors or Students Aging out of Transition
Howdy, I just wanted to send out a reminder of what to do for your Seniors that are currently graduating. Some of you have already started the paperwork process, Yay!!
First, all documents should be dated 6/11/20.
Documents to be completed:
Progress Report
The progress report will update in the last process in Historical, not in the current process
Summary of Performance (Regular and Modified Diplomas only)
You can use the “refresh from IEP” button to copy information from the IEP.
Please fill out each of the 4 areas. You need to click on “Show Details”
Prior Written Notice of Graduation or Post-Secondary (transition program)
This is where you select Graduation or Continue in Post-Secondary. Select this before entering in any content. If you have to change it, it will delete everything you just entered.
Remember to personalize it to each student.
Complete LAST
Here are the links that will walk you through the process of completing paperwork.
Seniors Graduating and will NOT be attending the Transition program
Seniors Graduating and WILL be attending the Transition program
Students Graduating with a GED
Students Aging out of the Transition program
Helpful Hints:
Please remember, the PWN MUST be completed last.
This document exits the student out of SE.
Before you can finalize the PWN, you must delete the IEP in the process.
Exit Screen
Once you finalize the PWN, an exit screen will appear.
Exit date: 6/11/20, unless they graduated before March 13th, then use date of graduation.
Exit Reason: Choose one of the options for graduating in concordance with their diploma type.
Exit explanation: Can be left blank.
If the student is graduating, the Prior Written Notice will exit the student from Synergy.
