Office Hours for Support are every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Come with your questions and get individual support for SESPs with active cases. A support specialist will call you at the time you select and at the number you provide. Please have all case information/documents/notes handy. When you select the time, a box will open up for you to list specific questions or share any other information (without specifying the student name or district - we look that up).
