AAC Awareness Month
October is AAC Awareness Month!
AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication. AAC includes tools and strategies that help people communicate when speaking is difficult or not their primary way of communicating. For Ava specifically, this looks like an IPad but it is actually her device that she uses to communicate with all of us.
This month, we want to remind everyone that everyone deserves a voice and a way to communicate. If you see someone using an AAC device, give them time to communicate, listen to what they have to say, and treat their communication just like you would anyone else’s.
Remember: Communication is more than talking, and every voice matters!
Happy AAC Awareness Month!

A Rural Voice at the State Board of Education
Hay Springs Public Schools was represented today at the Nebraska State Board of Education meeting in Scottsbluff, where Superintendent Dr. Sadie Coffey participated in public comment.
Dr. Coffey thanked the Board for bringing its meeting to western Nebraska and for its recognition of Dyslexia Awareness Month. She also encouraged Board members to continue considering the unique realities of Nebraska’s smallest and most geographically isolated schools when developing policies, rules, and initiatives.
We are proud to make sure the voices of Hay Springs students, staff, families, and rural Nebraska are part of the statewide conversation.
