New Teachers, New Schedules, New Friends Oh My!

I am sure everyone is a little nervous about coming back, I wanted to assure you that.....

• I am working on schedules for Wed., Thurs., and Friday making sure students are there for all the VERY IMPORTANT introduction stuff and TA's know when to give students what they need! I hope to email you a copy of your child's schedule for the first few days Tuesday Night, so you have an idea what they are up to.
• I am making sure everyone has the tools and equipment they need in their classroom and are ready to go day one.
• I am making sure teachers have reviewed student's IEP's and are aware of their needs. 

Looking forward to a great first few days! 

Thanks to everyone who has completed the online survey, came to back to school night, and all your great efforts to have a wonderful start to the new year!!!

Resources for Creating a Learner Profile

Coming Back!
As August approaches many of us are starting to plan for the return to school. I have attached an article on how to create a learner profile. Students can create this for themselves and share with their teachers. It is a great tool for self advocacy! I know some of you have created quick pamphlets about your students that you share with the new teacher, and families in your classroom this is also very helpful and a great way to reach out at the beginning of the year.

I plan to use some pieces of this at the beginning of the school year, but encourage you to do any of it this summer with your child as a learning experience for you and them!
