October is National Dyslexia Awareness Month
Dyslexia is not a flaw it’s just a different way the brain understands language. At South Brunswick, we are working to become a dyslexia-friendly district. That means we support our students with dyslexia and help them use their unique strengths to succeed.
This month, we raise awareness and show support for all students with dyslexia. Together, we can build a community that understands, includes, and empowers every learner.
As a follow-up to our previous communication, we are providing an update on the Enrollment and Growth Study—an important initiative aimed at helping our schools address the challenges of significant community growth and the anticipated loss of state aid. Please Click Here for further details
