NCI Training Update

Good afternoon,

Nonviolent Crisis Intervention training will take place at Greenspoint Elementary Saturday, November 4 at 8:00 a.m. in the cafeteria. If you were trained last year, the refresher training will be half the day. If you were not trained this year, you will need to stay for the entire session.

Please update your response (ONLY If you need to make changes) to this Google Form by Tuesday evening. I know many have had to change their original response and go to another campus for the training. In order to prepare for the number of attendees, I will forward the number of participants to the session facilitator Wednesday morning. Thank you!
