BESS Screener

Posted August 30, 2021

As part of our effort to support the Whole Child, our school will be implementing a universal social and emotional screening for students. Universal social and emotional screening is NOT an assessment or an evaluation. Instead, screenings are a useful tool to help identify students who may need extra social or emotional support. 

You also have the option to EXEMPT your child from participating. If you DO NOT want your child to participate in social and emotional screening, please indicate so by emailing Nicole_Newman@dpsk12.org. If we do not receive an OPT-OUT from you by September 16, 2021, we will assume you are choosing to have your child participate in social and emotional screening.
