We all work so hard and love to feel valued and appreciated for our contributions.  Let’s take a moment to recognize our exemplary co-workers.

CCASP is seeking nominations for our 2022 Meritorious Service Award. The purpose of this award is to recognize meritorious service of our professional colleagues.  This is not a competition and it’s a quick and easy process. Consider nominating your colleague that is exemplary in terms of service to students, teachers, parents, administrators, community agencies, and/or the profession of school psychology (descriptions below).  

In order to encourage nominations, member should be advised that unless there are obvious and overwhelming reasons for disapproval, all nominations will be approved. The deadline is April 16, 2021.  Recognition of recipients will be made at our F3 Legal Training in September in the form of certificates of merit, free CCASP membership, or other suitable forms of recognition including letters of recognition to district school board members and the district superintendent as well as media coverage.
