This group brings together stakeholders of ESE students to help support one another. Resources are shared, guest speakers present and parents have opportunities to share with one another and the district.

This meeting’s guest speaker was Florida Diagnostic and Learning Resources System (FDLRS), Parent Services Specialist, Stefanie Crosier.  Ms. Crosier gave a personal and passionate presentation on the importance of “Grit”, and how developing grit is critical to student’s success.  During the presentation, she shared a wonderful TED TALKS video on Grit by Dr. Angela Lee Duckworth.

Ms. Crosier shared the wealth of resources that FDLRS offers free to students, families and educators.

During the meeting, I had an opportunity to share about my personal connection to ESE.  These ESE students and families are always very special to me and I am grateful for the work our educators and the community does to make our kids more successful.

The next quarterly Citrus Schools ESE Parent Advisory Group meeting is scheduled for Oct. 17, 2017 from 4:30pm to 6:00pm.
