For your teens in care - Please read
A few of us in the office have been organizing the Cape Ann DSS Youth Advisory Board, which has met already twice this year. This is a group of 16+ foster youth who want to make changes for themselves and future foster teens. They have a couple of things they are working on:
A formal wear drive for proms and other events for males and females
DSS youth to youth mentoring program
If you have a teen in care who would like to attend our next meeting, it is scheduled for 3/18, Tuesday at 3pm. Because there is only a few of us, we could really use the assistance of the social workers to help out with transportation. Could you please let me know if you have a teen foster youth who is interested?
Thank you for your help!

Word of advice on taxes.....
a LOT of you are running into issues with getting ss#'s for children that were in your home that are eligible to use on your taxes.... Maybe a good idea is asking worker to give you SS#'s at placement. Those of you that are having trouble, are the ones that the child has gone home, DSS never got a SS# and now we have trouble getting. This might solve that type of problem.
And if we don't have a number, the worker can work on getting number while child is still in our custody and therefore avoiding the tax season frenzy....

If you are waiting for a foster parent ID....
There was a problem with the printer (it has been MONTHS!) so If you are waiting for one (I have no idea if anyone is) then they are on their way.
iIf you need an ID.... please make an appt with me! the ID is good for using to show ID's at schools etc as well as to prove you are a foster parent for any discounts from local merchants.
