Support Services News
Our very own Crisis K-9, Rocket, traveled to St. Louis over spring break with Dr. Milissa Sackos and Scottsdale Police Department Officer Devon Lines to attend the Association for Positive Behavior Support (APBS) conference. As the first school district in Maricopa County to assign a crisis response canine to a School Resource Officer, Dr. Sackos and Officer Lines were invited to present on the implementation of this program in SUSD. There, they were able to connect with some of today’s most active and influential thought leaders and researchers from around the world.
Additional Resources
Any SUSD family member needing social/emotional assistance is encouraged to contact Shannon Cronn, Director of Support Services.
