Special Education Directors - Message
 

As we continue this school year, I want to take a moment to express how valuable your partnership is in supporting your child’s education. The success of our students depends not only on the hard work and dedication of our teachers and staff but also on the involvement of you, our parents and guardians.

We believe that the best outcomes are achieved when parents are active participants in their child’s educational journey. I encourage you to stay involved in your student’s progress, attend meetings, ask questions, and share your insights. You know your child best, and your perspective is key to helping us provide the most effective support.

Our team is here to collaborate with you, whether it’s through IEP meetings, school events, or simply by staying in regular communication. Together, we can create a strong, supportive environment that empowers your student to thrive both academically and emotionally.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need support. Your involvement makes a world of difference, and we look forward to working with you every step of the way.

Thank you for being an essential part of our team!
