Hello parents, as we are working through these challenging times, we wanted to provide you an update regarding the educational support and services we are providing your student(s). Please see below for the many ways we are supporting students:

• We have instructed all virtual related service providers to continue providing services per your child’s IEP (ex. Speech, OT, etc.). For most of our students, they will keep the same service time. You will be contacted individually by your provider if there are any changes.

• With guidance from the county department of health, and with our strong desire to protect the health of our students, families, and staff, we will be offering virtual services in lieu of in-person services at this time. We will maintain the level of instructional minutes within the IEP to the best of our ability and will continue to provide the necessary support for each child.
  

• Your child’s virtual Specialized Academic Instruction (SAI) are taking place this week. Your child’s case manager should have emailed you last week to share the SAI schedule. Services will likely occur at a different time, as our teachers had to rearrange their schedules due to adding additional students on their caseloads who now receive virtual services, taking care of sick family members and/or to accommodate for their own children being at home. This is requiring some adjustments for everyone, so we ask for your continued patience and understanding as we work with your students.
  

• You may also be receiving (if you haven’t already) information from your child’s case manager about additional learning strategies and supports during this time. There are a variety of great resources that can be utilized by parents that we would like to share with you.

Thank you for your continued support of our school. Again, we know this is a difficult and trying time, and we will do our best to be a steady and consistent force for positivity in your child’s life.
