The Colorado Society of School Psychologists (CSSP) annual fall conference is scheduled for Nov. 11-14, 2020 at the beautiful Vail Marriott Mountain Resort.

The Marriott plans to reopen in June and plans are moving forward with the conference as scheduled. The CSSP Board wants to reassure the CSSP community that the Marriott is working closely with public health officials to ensure safety.

The Marriott has produced a video outlining safety precautions that can be accessed here: https://clean.marriott.com/?nck=141392000&ck=49714041&lk=1000411969

Although there is still some uncertainty and there is the chance that the conference may be cancelled or postponed, we are working to ensure that we are able to offer a worthwhile and successful conference if it occurs as scheduled As such, we invite proposals for papers and poster presentations for the fall conference.

See the CSSP 2020 - Call for presentation proposals.pdf for more information. Proposals can be submitted here: https://forms.gle/fPfB3S1J4WjYB4vH8

Congratulations to Representative Jeni Arndt on the NASP Government and Professional Relations (GPR) Special Friend of Children Award.

The NASP GPR "Special Friend of Children" Award is given to individuals or groups outside the profession who have nationally supported political action and advocacy on behalf of children to improve education and mental health services for children, youth and their families. These awardees have worked to make systemic changes in policies that govern the provision of education and mental health services at the state and national level. In addition, these individuals or groups have worked to support the NASP mission and its goals. Individual nominees or groups have so distinguished themselves by this service that clear evidence of improvement of education and services for children can be readily documented.

We are proud of Representative Arndt's advocacy work for the children and school psychologists in Colorado.

Colorado School Districts:

Do you want help recruiting for your open school psychologist positions?
Every year, we send CSSP board members to the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) Annual Convention.  At the convention, we network with school psychologists from around the nation.  We also will have a booth to advertise school psychologist positions and to recruit out of state candidates.  Our goal is to support our Colorado school districts in recruiting school psychologist to address the shortage of school psychologists in our state. 

If you/your district is interested in partnering with us and advertise your school psychologist positions, we would be happy to distribute flyers for each of you.   
if you are interested in having us advertise your positions at the NASP convention, email Krista Klabo at kristaklabo@gmail.com with all pertinent info and/or send a pdf of a flyer by February 14th.
