Every student deserves a school counselor to help with academic achievement strategies, managing emotions and applying interpersonal skills, and planning for postsecondary options.

PELC Sign Board

PELC Visual Communication Board

/in , /by

The Pendleton Early Learning Center has installed a visual communication board on its playground so that non-verbal students can communicate during recess. The board has about 60 small word-picture icons with a variety of subjects, actions, and more — things like “run, slide, yes, no, go, cold, bathroom.” Students can point to one of the icons to communicate with adults or with other students.

On a smaller scale, this visual communication tool is used in classrooms for non-verbal students as well.

Angela Lattin, Principal at the PELC, said there are several non-verbal students in the school who will benefit from the communication board, as will many of their classmates. “Our goal is that every child can communicate their needs. These boards provide exactly that access in the play setting,” Lattin said.

A second communication board will be installed on the other playground soon.

This morning across the street from McKay Elementary School a power pole “transformer” blew and set off the fire alarms at the school.  Students were safely evacuated and the fire department was dispatched.  The building was checked inside and out by the fire department and once deemed safe, students were allowed back into the school and will continue with classes.
