The month of May is recognized nationally as Mental Health Awareness Month. In an effort to bring awareness to our students and school communities the Mental Health Center has planned a number of activities for the month. 

Additionally, the MHC would like to have a Mental Health Moments added to the morning announcements. The assigned school clinicians will also be contacting principals about these events. We are also asking that students and staff recognize the month by wearing green on Mondays.

Thank you for your assistance and collaboration with Mental Health Awareness Month!

Kudos to Principal Todd Shaffer and Windridge ES for their strides in implementing Restorative Practices! SEED wants to encourage you to keep up the great work Windridge! What a way to create positive school culture!

TEAM Evaluator Training

We're excited to announce that TEAM training is transitioning to the TeachALL platform. This transition will make accessing TEAM trainings simpler and more user friendly. TeachAll features include:

• No more hassle with course registrations!
  • With TeachALL, evaluators can now self-enroll in initial evaluator courses at their convenience.
  • Certified evaluators will continue to receive a recertification email with log in information. 
• Upon completion of certification courses and passing assessments, TeachALL automatically awards you with a certificate, that will automatically connect to TNCompass to upload your credentials.

TeachALL is an intuitive and user-friendly platform designed to empower evaluators. The new platform is easy to access with your Single Sign On (SSO).  

• Recertification courses will be open from June 3, 2024, to August 31, 2024.
