Dear MRH Families,
Although this school year certainly had its challenges, our students demonstrated significant learning gains both academically and socially/emotionally. The whole MRH community has persevered in order to support students. I hope the summer brings new and different learning opportunities for your child(ren) and an opportunity to experience a different pace of life.
As always, thank you for your partnership.
Respectfully,
Ben Gleason
Lead Special Education Coordinator

Parent Education and Diversity Awareness
The highly successful SSD Parent Leadership Institute that has had more than 280 participants since 2007 is once again being offered under a new name of Family Leadership Institute (FLI).
The Institute will be Wednesday evenings from 5:30-8:30pm at SSD Central Office: October 12, 19, 26 and November 2.
If you are a parent or family member who makes the educational decisions for a child with a disability, investing the time to attend these four Wednesday evening sessions will provide:
VISION: for the future of your child.
KNOWLEDGE: to help effectively participate in your child's education.
LEADERSHIP SKILLS: to improve the educational climate for all children.
ACCESS: to new resources, friends, and experts to help you on your journey.
