Kirk Monthly
March 1st, 2024
Over the remainder of the school year, we will be highlighting some of the amazing work our students are engaging in across the vocational continuum (see voc. continuum below). This month, we’ll be highlighting our PAES lab (Practical Assessment Exploration System) which is a hands-on vocational-based program helping students and teachers identify skills and interests, along with support needed, across 5 different job strands. Led by our Employment Specialist/PAES expert, Ms. Barb Vasquez, students in the PAES lab continue to build both soft skills and task-specific skills, while being assessed on their performance. The PAES lab helps increase student independence and continues preparing them for other vocational opportunities down the road such as in-school or community jobs. We’re thrilled to highlight the great work that Sviatic, Jaydyn and Tyler have accomplished thus far, and hope to see them expanding their vocational engagement in the future.
Is your student in need of a State ID, REAL ID, or Renewal? Mark your calendars because Kirk will be hosting our annual mobile DMV event on May 2nd, 2024! It's the perfect opportunity to ensure your student has the identification they need. If interested in obtaining a State ID/Disability ID or REAL ID/Disability ID for your student, all you need to do is fill out the INTEREST FORM by March 31st. Please note, completion of this form doesn't guarantee a spot, we will contact you at a later date with specific details.
