During the week of February 6th, our ESU 16 School Psychologists were able to attend The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) Annual Conference virtually. This opportunity would have not happened without the funding of a grant from the John Russell Applegate at Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation. We so appreciate the opportunity to be able to build our skills in the area of School Psychology.

Did you know that Homework teaches our students important life skills?
It is the building blocks for all we do as adults.
On plus side it keeps the parent involved in what your child is being taught at school.
