Greetings! Many of you have submitted questions about the new ECSE membership functionality since its release as part of our August enhancement. In response, SpEd Forms will provide a free training session on September 5th at 9am. Find out more and register at:

 

Lighten the ESCE workload

 

SpEd Forms will post a recording of this session to YouTube for those unable to attend.

 

We have also developed preliminary guidance for those wishing to put the enhancements to work immediately. The guidance can be downloaded and shared. It can be found here:

 

Documenting and calculating membership, attendance and special education service hours for ESCE

 

We are really excited about these changes! Please share with your ECSE staff!

 

With our August update, SpEd Forms released a coordinated package of enhancements that will greatly reduce the workload of preschool service providers by eliminating the use of attendance logs for most students. We have developed a training session to show you how this works! Please join us on Thursday, September 5th, from 9 to 10am to learn how to implement this new functionality in your district. You can sign up for this session, along with any of our other available free, back-to-school opportunities here:

No worries if you cannot join on the 5th! We’ll be recording and sharing this training on our YouTube channel for you to watch at your convenience.

 

Happy August, educators!

Again, there is no cost to you for these specific sessions. We encourage cooperatives and districts to meet in groups if at all possible and register as one so we can have room for everyone wishing to attend. Registration is mandatory.

With summer just around the corner, we’re rooting for you as this school year wraps up!
