Successful First Week of School
Arrival and Dismissal have been both the highlight of the day and the most stressful. Thank you for being patient while we work out the hiccups. We will have fewer cars at pick up due to After School starting on Tuesday, September 7th. We hope this will ease some of the backup on Amherst Road. If for any reason your student is not ready to leave (seat belts, etc.) please pull into a parking spot so we can keep traffic moving.
And finally, I'd like to welcome a few new staff to our community. Welcome to DeAndre Hinson our new part time counselor, Chavae Peters-White our new part time Occupational Therapist, Mary Alice our new part time BCBA, Peter Shea our new part time Psychologist and Abby Tatarian our counseling intern. We are so luck to have such talented new members of our staff.
