Inclusive Insights
Northern Burlington County Regional School District
Welcome to our first edition of Inclusive Insights. The purpose of this newsletter is to keep parents of Northern Burlington students who received Special Education Services up to date on department happenings and to provide helpful information.
I am proud to be the Director of Special Education at Northern Burlington. In 2021 my journey brought me "home" after having wonderful experiences as a teacher, learning disabilities teacher consultant and administrator. My family has had ties to NB for several decades and I was happy to join the amazing faculty and staff here. Meeting students needs appropriately in the least restrictive environment is always the goal of our department. We look forward to working with you in supporting your student's educational journey.
Educationally yours,
Lisa M. Pirrello-Peters
🌟Event Spotlight🌟
On March 19th, from 5-7:30PM the Career Orientation Program partnered with SPWA (Serving People with Abilities) Support Coordination to host our 3rd annual Transition Resource Fair. There were 22 vendors in attendance along with students and families from the Northern school district as well as surrounding districts. Students and families were able to connect with services based in community supports, day and residential programs, and employment agencies in order to better help plan for life after high school.
Some vendors in attendance included: SPWA, DVRS (Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services), DDD (Division of Developmental Disabilities), the Occupational Training Center, The Arc of Burlington County, and Blue Light Music Program
