The district will soon be administering mySAEBRS, or the Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk Screener, for students grades 2-12. This screener allows students to self-assess their social, academic and emotional behavior competencies and gives us insight into student needs for support with the goal of promoting academic success.
Information about the screener can be found at docs.google.com/document/d/1GSmk-EwUI7Rru3EHhgmbSDF2u0hCMCcTneuK4tYWpGQ/edit. The consent form can be found in Skyward Family Access https://familyaccess.gckschools.com/scripts/wsisa.dll/WService=wsEAplus/seplog01.w.
