The Human Resources Department has asked us to share the following with OSD paraeducators:

The Olympia School District, in partnership with ESD 113, is offering one last opportunity to complete the required 14 hours for the Paraeducator Fundamental Course of Study (FCS) for the 19/20 school year. The training will be held online via Zoom. To register for any (or all) sessions, you MUST use the following pdEnroller link:  https://www.pdenroller.org/esd113/Catalog/Event/100966. When prompted, please use the coupon code “OLY” to avoid payment for the class. This is free to all OSD Paraeducators.

Please note: you will NOT be able to search for this training in pdEnroller. All registration must be done directly through the link provided as it is exclusive to the Olympia School District. Also, please review the following schedule carefully. Some units have been divided over multiple days. You will need to complete all hours for each unit to receive credit.

Paraeducators must complete all 14 hours of training in order to receive the $335 stipend in August.  The Human Resources Department will receive a list from the ESD of those who have completed the 14 hours.  Clock hour forms will be for the paraeduator’s records. These will be used at a later time to enter these hours in OSPI’s e-cert system toward the completion of the Paraeducator Certificate.  More information to come.
