Join us for Coffee Connect!

The NeMTSS team is excited to continue Coffee Connect in spring 2025!.

This virtual event series aims to build collaboration, community, and capacity among educators and others implementing Integrated MTSS in Nebraska schools.

Each session will start with information from Integrated MTSS Specialists Chandra Essex, Sara Gentry, Jill Guenther and Mackenzie Riedel, and then allow time for questions and sharing from participants.

Each month’s Coffee Connect will be from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. CST (7:00 to 8:00 a.m. MST).

These conversations are free and open to all Nebraska educators and those working to support Integrated MTSS across the state; however, registration is required to receive the Zoom information. We encourage you to register soon and save the dates!

If you miss an event, video recordings will be available in our YouTube page and in the NeMTSS media library.
