Hi families! As we're gearing up for the new school year, some of you may receive an email about the SPIRSS Program, which mentions the SAEBRs screener.
As a reminder, each semester teachers complete the Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk screener (SAEBRs) for each of their students. Students also have the opportunity to complete one for themselves. This gives us a snapshot of how students are doing and if they might need some additional support in different areas.
You can find more information about the SAEBRs (teacher completed version) here:

You can also find more information about the mySAEBRs (student completed version) on our website here (also included in enrollment packets):
