About The Parent Support Specialist...That's Me!!!
Hi. My name is Stephanie Vaughan and I am the Parent Support Specialist for
Purple Sage Elementary. Part of my job is to set up and maintain the PRO
Center or the parent room which is located in the portable behind the
school. It's a wonderful, warm, and friendly room with plenty of age
appropriate toys to delight your preschooler or toddler. There is a library
of adult resources including parenting books, videos, and pamphlets there
too. Please stop in and say hello.
I do have meetings and trainings that periodically take me away from
campus. In the event that I am not available on campus please feel free to
contact me through the front office of the school.
I am here to help parents by providing educational, social, and volunteer
opportunities as well as access to a wide array of resources for your
specific needs. So if you have any questions about our school, our
community,volunteer opportunities, special needs, etc....I'm here to help.
If I don't know the answer right away, you can surely bet that I know where
to find it!!
Please feel free to email me by clicking on the mailbox on the home page of
this Teacher Web Page. You are also welcome to call my cell phone at
512-293-0782. If I do not answer please leave me a message and let me know a
good time to contact you and a number to reach you at.
What is a Parent Support Specialist?
A Parent Support Specialist(PSS) is a part-time district employee whose job
it is to support, encourage, and assist the parents with whatever needs they
are having. I am here to serve the parents of Pond Springs by providing a
direct link to our school staff, community resources, and both educational
and volunteer opportunities.
The education of our children is a group effort. It takes all of
us...parents, staff, teachers, community members, grandparents, etc. Parents
need to fill our tool belts with as many tools as we can to reinforce the
teaching that is occurring at school. Do we know how best to do that? Do we
have a good understanding of what is being taught, how it's being taught, and
how we can create the link of learning from our classrooms to our living
rooms? Please help by joining this effort to link our classrooms to our
living rooms...contact Stephanie for more information.
