Tuesday, September 23rd 6:30-8:30pm Sacred Heart School
Film Screening and Panel Discussion
Dyslexia is the most common learning disability, yet remains the most publicly misunderstood. Many students still go undiagnosed, meaning they are often performing below their potential. The goal of this event is to bring awareness of Dyslexia, to deepen our understanding, to debunk the myths and to learn about what it is like for these individuals.
This event is free to educators, parents, and students and will offer a film screening of The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia, Directed by James Redford with Scientific Advisers Drs. Bennett and Sally Shaywitz.

Safe Environment Refresher Courses
The Safe Environment online refresher courses are now available. Anyone who completed the Called to Protect for Ministries class prior to July of 2014 is currently due to take an online refresher course. This is an annual requirement that resets for everyone over the summer (so even if you did an online refresher course last spring, you are currently due to take another one). Click here for log-on instructions. In order to maintain your eligibility as a volunteer, it is important to stay up to date with your Safe Environment training. Contact Amy Davis if you have any questions.
If you are not intending to volunteer with children or vulnerable adults but would like to know more about how to help keep children safe, you can attend a class tonight at Our Lady of the Lake Church in Seattle at 7pm. Please note: this class does not fulfill your training requirement if you are planning to volunteer with children or vulnerable adults.
Volunteers
It is important that all volunteers check in at the mail office, sign in and wear a visitor badge. When you have completed your volunteer duties please sign out in the yellow visitor book at the front desk.
