Date: Monday, August 28, 2017
Time: 8:30 – 4:00
Location: Belmont Recreation Center (1600 Hilliard Road, Henrico, VA 23228)

Staff will not be compensated for their time to attend the training.
All attendees will receive 1 hour for lunch on their own. Instructional Assistants must attend the training for the duration of the day. – Instructional Assistants will not be permitted to leave early, as there are assessments they must complete in order to receive their certificate of completion. Please make sure Instructional Assistants are aware of this requirement.
**Note: These trainings are targeted for new hires, as many Instructional Assistants have previously completed this training. If you are unsure about the individuals in your building and their completion of this training, please e-mail Kristin Herman at keherman@henrico.k12.va.us
***An on-line training is available through the VCU Autism Center for Excellence. As the training is available on-site through HCPS, staff will not be compensated for their time if they choose to complete the course on-line. Copies of completed certificates must be sent to Kim Harris in Human Resources at Central Office. Information can be found at https://vcuautismcenter.org/te/courses/paraprofessionals.cfm
Thank you for your continued cooperation as we work to ensure compliance with House Bill 325!
