About Us

Welcome to our school! We believe that parent participation is key to student success; our new website is designed to provide parents with all the information they need to be active participants in their student’s education. You will find that the site works just as well on mobile devices as it does on a desktop so you can find information on the go.

All our students will develop academic and social skills and responsibilities which will enable them to become productive and law-abiding citizens of the community. "All students" refers to both special and general education students.

Resources for Families

It is with deep sadness that we continue to mourn the loss of Mr. Falcone. His passing has impacted our students, staff, and families, and we know that this is a difficult time for everyone.
Attached to this email are several resources that were created specifically for families. These materials are meant to help guide conversations with your child, support your student emotionally, or even support yourself as you navigate an experience that may be just as difficult for adults as it is for children.
When students return to school, there will be supports in place to ensure their emotional needs are taken care of and that they feel safe, supported, and heard during this sad time. Our counselors, administrators, and staff will be available to students as they transition back and continue to process this loss.
If you have any particular concerns about your child. or would simply like to reach out, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s grade Assistant Principal or School Counselor at any time. We are here to support you and your family.
