This will be the last opportunity to change your classroom environment for the 20-21 school year. The decision families make will be for the entirety of 2nd semester (3rd and 4th quarters), it is important that families communicate their desired transition as soon as the window opens. We recommend that you inform your schools as soon as possible so that we can begin planning for your student’s needs.

Hello Caregivers,

Please know that it is on a first come first serve so early arrival is suggested. Their address is 8400 East 10th Street.

Secondly, we have received a gracious donation of coats from The Salvation Army, from their Coats For Kids Program! We will be distributing these coats to our learners on a first come first serve basis.
