Thank you to the 40 individuals who attended our Fall meeting hosted by Thaddeus Stevens. We had members join us from Cocalico, Conestoga Valley, ELANCO, Ephrata, Hempfield, IU13, Lancaster County CTC, Manheim Central, Manheim Township, SDOL, Solanco, and Warwick. We also had grad students from Millersville and Lancaster Bible College and one retiree in attendance.
Following a welcome from Megan Dancause, Director of Admissions and Marketing at Stevens, we welcomed Chris Cherny, an Assistant Director with PATTAN Harrisburg for a conversation about integration of MTSS and other supports. Chris shared the resources available from PATTAN for districts, including: Professional Development, Critical Supports, Emergent Supports, Systemic Supports. PA Educators can utalize: PATTAN Conferences, PATTAN Publications, PATTAN POD Youtube. Chris discussed common myths about MTSS and PBIS integration and the ways that we can combat these myths in our buildings. Counselors in attendance at the meeting shared ideas and progress on MTSS and PBIS in their buildings.
We then held a counselor discussion about needs that we're seeing in our schools and how we can best support each other. Topics included resource sharing, attendance issues, tracking career artifacts, and bringing back Zoom coffee chats.
If you still have to register with LCSCA for the 2025-26 school year, please complete our membership form here. Dues remain just $10! Around Thanksgiving, communication will only be sent to paid members. Additionally, we have a need for LCSCA board officers! We are currently seeking a Vice President and Secretary. If you'd like to get involved in your local counselor community, please respond to this email and let us know!
Finally, we will be hosting a winter holiday social on the afternoon of Thursday, December 11th. Look for more details to come!
