First Day of School

11 08 2008

I am looking forward to a great year. The start of the school year involves a lot of administrative stuff. Please get all the stuff that needs to be returned to school as soon as possible. Also, if you would email me with your child’s name in the subject line so I can create a contact list. You can tell me whatever you think I need to know or nothing at all. The first week will be used to take diagnostic tests, transition skill worksheets, pre-tests, etc…… to see where we are. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns and I will contact you as soon as possible.
