We hope you’ll take a couple of minutes to share your perspective using the form below.

Special Education

Welcome Back to a New School Year!

We hope your family had a restful summer and is ready for an exciting year ahead! Our team is thrilled to welcome our students back to the classroom. If your student receives special education services, their assigned case manager will be reaching out during the first week of school to introduce themselves and partner with you for a successful year.



Sensory-Friendly Early Access Hour

We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone at the Back to School Bash this Sunday, August 23rd from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm! To ensure all of our learners have a wonderful experience, the event will open one hour early for our neurodiverse students and families who prefer a quieter, lower-sensory environment before the main crowds arrive. The Sensory-Friendly Early Access Hour runs from 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm. We look forward to seeing you there!
