SPED Update 11/23/15
HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY!
SPED HAPPENINGS!
We have a new paraprofessional at Elementary. Lori Ray has brought with her lots of experience working with students with special needs and we are excited to have her join our team!
Mrs. Terri Cowin who is currently a paraprofessional at our Middle School will be moving into her new position as a Speech/Language teacher at our Primary Building after the Thanksgiving break in order to help cover the ever increasing number of kids needing speech/language therapy. Terri will be working along with Kim Ireland our current Speech Language Pathologist to service kids from Early Childhood to First Grade!
Also in the spirit of Thanksgiving I wanted to take a second to express my utmost gratitude for the wonderful staff who run our special transportation routes. Even with the multiple curve balls you are given every day you still manage to ensure that every kid has a great experience each and every morning and afternoon on their ride to school and home. I'm so thankful for each one of our regular route drivers, and para riders!
Bus 32: Bobbie Hopper, Jancy Burke, Brenda Miller
Van 35: Issac Johnson, Jill Jones, Terri Cowin, and soon to be rider Pat Byrne!
