- Dyslexia screener deadlines
a. First grade – October 10, 2023
b. Kindergarten – April 19, 2024
This year all kindergarten and first-grade dyslexia data must be uploaded into the secure SharePoint file by the specified district dyslexia point of contact by Friday, May 10, 2024.
- Dyslexia Awareness Training must be completed by the end of April. This is for educators and paraprofessionals who were hired during the 2023-24 school year. Please submit the District Report Spreadsheet to the secure SharePoint file.
As a reminder, superintendents were previously sent a link to a Microsoft form to provide the name of the district dyslexia point of contact. A training will be provided for all identified district dyslexia contact personnel on how to access and navigate the SharePoint file.
