Significant Life Changes Group Enrollment Invitation

We invite any family seeking support for their child around any significant life change to explore this 8 week group opportunity. The group will be an opportunity for students to learn coping strategies as well as have a dialogue with peers who are facing similar changes. We will focus on developing strategies that can be used in and out of the classroom for academic success and creating healthy friendships. The goal of the group is to allow students the opportunity to identify how the changes are making them feel and to hear and learn from otherโ€™s experiences as well.


If you are interested in learning more about the group or enrolling your child please contact Meghan Nolet-Downey at mnolet-downey@billericak12.com.

Ditson School App

Improving student learning outcomes is the top priority for all of us here at the Ditson Elementary School. We know that parent and family engagement is one of the biggest factors in student success, and our new Ditson Elementary School App will allow parents to easily connect with what is going on at the school. From in-app translations to push notifications for urgent messages, we know this will be an impactful addition to our existing methods of communicating with families.
