New Student Initiative the Devereaux Student Strengths Assessment (DESSA) Screener
To identify and support the social-emotional growth of all children in our school, the DOE is excited to be administering a strengths based SEL screener, known as the Devereaux Student Strengths Assessment (DESSA). The DESSA asks questions about areas of social-emotional functioning including decision making, relationship building, confidence, and others. Families, we urge you to read notice carefully, contact information, parent deadline and opt out option are included in parent letter.
