Dear Families,
I hope this letter finds you and your child well, and that the start of the school year has been a smooth and positive experience. The beginning of the year is always an exciting time as students reconnect with friends, meet their teachers, and embark on new learning opportunities. Our team is committed to ensuring that every student with an IEP receives the support, resources, and encouragement they need to thrive.
As partners in your child’s education, I want to keep you informed about upcoming opportunities that may be of interest to you and your family. These events provide a chance to connect with staff, learn about available resources, and engage with other families in our community:
