BESS Screener 20-21

September 01, 2020
By admin

Dear Parent or Guardian:

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 can provide a fair and impartial way of looking at how students are progressing in their social and emotional development. Screenings can also help identify areas where school personnel can improve or adjust our supports. 

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.

Denver Public Schools currently uses a social and emotional screening questionnaire called the Behavior and Emotional Screening System (BESS). The online tool takes approximately ten minutes to complete and consists of 28 questions for the student to answer.

The social and emotional screening may occur two or three times over the course of the school year. Repeated screening helps us determine if the supports we provide to students are effective in meeting their needs. 

You have the right, upon request to review the questions on the screener. If you would like to review the questions on the social and emotional screener, please contact: Elle Sypek at esypek@striveprep.org

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 signing this form at the bottom and returning this form to scastro@striveprep.org

If we do not receive an OPT-OUT form from you, we will assume you are choosing to have your child participate in the social and emotional screening.

 

Thank you for your assistance as we work together to educate and support your student!

 

Sincerely,

 

School Representative

Estimado padre o tutor legal:

Como parte de nuestro esfuerzo para apoyar al niño como ser integral, nuestra escuela implementará una evaluación social y emocional universal de los estudiantes.

La evaluación social y emocional universal puede proporcionar una forma justa e imparcial de ver cómo los estudiantes progresan en su desarrollo social y emocional. Las evaluaciones también pueden ayudar a identificar áreas en las que el personal escolar puede mejorar o ajustar nuestros apoyos.

La evaluación social y emocional universal NO es una prueba ni un examen. En su lugar, las evaluaciones son una herramienta útil para ayudar a identificar a los estudiantes que pueden necesitar apoyo social o emocional adicional.

En la actualidad, las Escuelas Públicas de Denver usan un cuestionario de evaluación social y emocional llamado Sistema de Evaluación Conductual y Emocional (BESS, por su sigla en inglés). La herramienta en línea puede completarse en aproximadamente diez minutos y consta de 28 preguntas que el estudiante debe responder.

La evaluación social y emocional puede realizarse dos o tres veces en el transcurso del año escolar. Evaluar repetidamente nos ayuda a determinar si los apoyos que brindamos a los estudiantes son eficaces para satisfacer sus necesidades.

Los padres y tutores legales tienen derecho, mediante solicitud, a revisar las preguntas de la evaluación. Si desean revisar las preguntas de la evaluación social y emocional, comuníquense con: Elle Sypek - ESypek@striveprep.org

También tiene la opción de EXIMIR a su hijo de participar en este evaluación. Si NO desean que su estudiante participe en la evaluación social y emocional, llama a la escuela al 303-9993825 y dejando un mensaje de voz con el nombre de su estudiante, diciendo que NO quiere que ellos participe. O firme este documento en la parte inferior y envíe un correo electrónico a scastro@striveprep.org

Si no recibimos un formulario de NO PARTICIPACIÓN, asumiremos que desea que su estudiante participe en la evaluación social y emocional.

¡Gracias por su ayuda a medida que trabajamos juntos para educar y apoyar a su estudiante!

Atentamente, Representante escolar
