Dear Parents,

As we wind toward Spring Break, we are keeping the students engaged in learning and moving toward their goals. Your continued communication with the teachers and therapists and the support you provide at home are simply golden. It is a joy to partner with you on behalf of your child!

Have a wonderful week!

Ms.  Moreau
