How will CTC support my child's technical device needs during remote learning?

TBAISD Technology Services will:

  • Maintain support for staff devices, connectivity, and resources to meet instructional needs.

If school closes again, what sort of support does CTC offer if my child seems depressed, withdrawn, or scared?

Social-emotional health rests at the foundation of our work and is embedded in all phases of the plan to support students, families, communities, and school personnel. TBAISD will:

  • Implement developmentally appropriate and sensitive mental health screenings for students by a trained professional. Screenings may include observation checklists for teachers and questionnaires for students and families.
  • Designate a mental health liaison for each TBAISD building to assist with communication and coordination of services.
  • Provide wellness resources on the TBAISD website for staff and school families to access.
  • Provide staff with ongoing professional development related to social-emotional health.
  • Ensure mental and social-emotional health supports are compliant with HIPPA and FERPA policies.

For more information, contact CTC during school hours and ask for the center's mental health liaison.
