Spring Newsletter
Dear Parents, April 19, 2016
Please enjoy the first newsletter for parents and students with an individual education program(IEP). Moving forward in the 2016-17 school year you will receive a newsletter three times per year(fall, winter, and spring). The goal is to share some of the resources and news that comes from outside agencies with parents and students, allowing you to decide what is useful for your student and family. Each newsletter will attempt to offer something for everyone. Each newsletter will also be posted on our school site under Support Services - Special Education - Related Links. Please feel free to send me an e-mail if you have a resource to share. Happy Spring break see below for a few events happening our our area during the week off.
