Welcome to Mrs. Derenick's Occupational Therapy Homepage.

I hope that each and every one of you are doing and feeling well during this time away from school. I am hoping that we can be together in the near future and continue to work on our skills that we are learning in Occupational Therapy.

Each of you who receive direct occupational therapy services in school have been placed into one or more of my virtual Google Classrooms. How do I access the Google Classroom, you ask? For those of you who do not know how to access this, follow the tab on the left with step by step directions.

Once in the Google Classroom you will see a new post weekly. These posts can include print-from-home handwriting activities, fun paper and pencil tasks, or website links for motor or sensory activities. 

I invite all parents to join me on Talking Points for Parents. This is an app or web based communication tool which will allows open and easy communication over these coming weeks. This tool offers translation of languages with ease. Please follow one of the links for instructions. If you need instructions in an additional language, please reach out to me at sderenick@riversidesd.com

 Talking Points Instructions- English

Talking Points Instructions- Spanish

In addition to that weekly contact I will also be available for additional communication via email (sderenick@riversidesd.com) or phone conferences. I will be available on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 9am-11am or any other mutually agreed upon time.
