Good morning,

Thank you to everyone who joined me for our March 31 live online community update.

Partners on Team Student

“Team student” 😊 that’s us -- parents, teachers, student and community. Our role is to help each student get what they need to develop the Executive Function Skills we discussed in January…social, academic, intellectual and social skills they will need for success in the real world.

Teacher conferences give us an opportunity to work as a cohesive team and let the student lead us where we need to go. Click here for info & tips on making the most of conferences including
