Resources for Parents and Students
Parents often ask us what they can do at home to help their child’s development. In efforts to assist parents with additional resources, we’ve created a list of iPad and computer based applications for students K-4 to use at home to help with OT, social skills, executive functioning, and academic skills. These applications and programs include various activities and supports such as, visual schedules and procedure boards, activity timers, mindfulness strategies, social stories, letter formation, math/reading/writing practice, and other helpful tools. We encourage you to explore these supplemental applications that will help enhance your child’s growth and development. It will help them generalize skills they are working on at school. We look forward to continuing to build this list of resources in the future and hope you find it helpful. Apps for Parents.pdf

Volunteering Requirement-CORI Checks
Anyone volunteering at our school must participate in the Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) check before volunteering. Volunteering includes classroom volunteering, field trips, field day, etc. Once a CORI check has been completed, your ‘CORI’ is valid for 3 years. CORI checks are applicable to any volunteering in the Shrewsbury Public Schools. Unfortunately, CORIs completed elsewhere are not valid for Shrewsbury Public Schools. This link can be used to access the form. Please return the completed form in person to Mrs. Judith Adair, our secretary, with your license for the CORI to begin being processed. Please allow for at least 2 weeks for CORI checks to be completed before participating in any volunteer activities at our school. Volunteers without a completed and processed CORI will be unable to volunteer until the process is complete. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
