New Special Education Multi-Needs Classroom at Field Park! (repeated from 8/30 Update)
As help at home for conversations about inclusion, diversity, needs and abilities, and how to support our new students, check out some of these great book resources:
- It's Okay to Be Different, by Todd Parr (great for little ones)
- All Kinds of Friends, by Shelley Rotner & Sheila M. Kelly
- I'm Like You, You're Like Me, by Cindy Gainer
- Not So Different: What You REALLY Want to Ask About Having a Disability, by Shane Burcaw (great for older kids)
Huge thanks to FP parent Catherine Dudley (of Thomas Ford Library) and to Courtney Rozovics (LADSE's Multi-Needs teacher here at FP) for these book support resources!
Update to District Calendar (repeated from 8/30 Update)
The printed District calendar lists 4/10/2020 (Good Friday) as school day; this is incorrect -- 4/10/2020 is a non-attendance day. It has been updated on our website. Thanks for bearing with us!
Flyers/Handouts
