1.)   INSPIRE Registration OPEN! Thursday, August 15th from 8:00am – 4:00pm
The registration is LIVE for the Thursday, August 15th, 2024 INSPIRE Event! This great opportunity for our Early Learning staff will take place in-person at Seattle U from 8:00am – 4:00pm. The INSPIRE event has expanded to two days, but the Early Learning Tract will take place the first day on Thursday, August 15th.

This day is open to ALL staff that work in our Early Learning Programs (Preschool and PreK) and is FREE! Seattle U is also offering FREE accommodations for those that are traveling from further distances or have any other reason to spend the night. We will have a specific Early Learning Tract for the sessions that take place after the keynote … It should be an awesome day to share, collaborate and build community!

Please click on the link below for registration and an additional link for an INSPIRE informational landing page. Can you please forward this information to the rest of the staff in your Early Learning Program. I know this day will not work for everyone so we will continue to work on in-person opportunities for next school year as well. Please let me know if you have any questions!

2.)   Butterfly Pediatrics Monthly Meeting: Tuesday, May 28th at 3:15pm
We have been having wonderful monthly sessions with our Partners at Butterfly Pediatrics this year as their experts join us virtually to answer your questions and give resources/ideas about behavior, social emotional needs and sensory processing situations in your classrooms. Our next and last session this school year is on Tuesday, May 28th at 3:15pm 

To make the most of our hour with them can you please email me at david.mayer@seattlearch.org  by noon today with any behavior, social emotional needs and sensory processing situations you are dealing with that you would like the experts from Butterfly Pediatrics to discuss during the virtual meeting. I will be sending these case studies in advance to the Butterfly team so they can be prepared to give you as much information as possible during our time together. Even if you are not able to join the meeting, you can still submit situations and we will record the conversations and send a recording link. Also, please feel free to also send this information to your Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade teachers as they are now invited to these meetings as well! Thank you!

Join Zoom Meeting

Have a great week!
