COMMUNICATION IS KEY

Our Programmer and Sped Coordinator throughout the programming process are in constant communication to make sure student’s academic needs are met and mandates followed.

OUTREACH

Outreach is made before the school year starts to coordinate with parents so students can hit the ground running (without program shifts) on the first day of school and have the support they need already in place.
