SESS Updates - February 2024
Happy February!
The transition to the new platform for IEPS, CTSEDs, seems to be going smoothly. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have difficulty accessing your students' documents on the Parent Portal.
It has been wonderful seeing our families at PPT meetings in the building. Please remember that you have the option to attend these meetings virtually or in person. We will be sure to ask your preference when scheduling the meeting.
We look forward to our continued work together for the remainder of the school year! I am always available by phone, 203-869-1685, or email, annamaria_mccarthy@greenwich.k12.ct.us to hear any questions, concerns, feedbacks, or celebrations.
