As a paraprofessional, you play a vital role in providing the services that we provide to children with disabilities in our schools.  We have prepared the Special Services Paraprofessional Supplementary Handbook to help you better understand your role and responsibilities in your new position.  It will answer many of the questions that you may have as well as some you may not have thought of yet!

To guide you through the Handbook, we have prepared an on-line training.  We ask that you log on and participate in this training as soon as you are able to after being hired.  It will require about 1 hour.  Upon completing the training presentation, you will be directed to a short quiz.  Please complete the quiz (using your Handbook if needed).
