Traditions:
Please encourage our families to understand and implement traditions of their own. I've included a few ideas for you to share below. I've also included information about "I Love You Rituals"....the very best daily tradition for every family member.

Be Informed and Share our Story
The Bond will be on the April ballot for our community to vote on. HERE is an easy to read FAQ that will help you out. REMEMBER: when families ask about the bond, what do you think, what do you know. You need to know the facts, state the facts, but cannot ask them to vote yes. You can only share the value....and for our families, there is value.
Please include Bond Video in your newsletter

ECSE Final Expenditure Report for 2018-2019
263 IEP's, this is down significantly due to the change in service rules for 3 year olds with speech issues. We are still serving these children using SIS, so caseloads really have not changed, but the funding did!
