NEWS
ASR Fall Assessments and Family Conferences
During the fall, teachers assess children in social, cognitive, and physical domains as required by the state of Ohio. These assessments provide a snapshot of your child’s development and help the school to plan and implement curriculum and activities targeted to each child’s individual goals and strengths. Be on the lookout for communication from your child’s teachers about arranging a family conference in November to discuss your child’s education and daily experiences at school. Reviewing these assessments and screenings are one part of conferences; discussing school friendships, learning and setting educational goals together are important parts of the discussion. We look forward to meeting with you!

Join us for our 9th annual Symposium on Children
The 9th annual Symposium on Children will be held virtually on Friday, October 28 from 12:30-4:30pm. This year’s theme will focus on investments in children. The event is free and open to all who are interested, but registration is required.
Keynote speaker Dr. Kirabo Jackson is a labor economist at Northwestern University researching education and social policy issues. Dr. Jackson will share his insights on how education policies impact children’s lifelong outcomes through adulthood from early childhood into the K-12 years. The event will also showcase additional research on investments; explore funding alternatives and learn from communities who have innovated in this realm; and inspire us toward greater resolve and courage when it comes to how much we spend on our youngest citizens.
