Hello Parents, Families and Students, I hope you have had a moment today to enjoy this beautiful day. I would like to take this time to update you on a few things. Please remember that the "Grab and Go" program begins tomorrow, March 23rd at the Quinn School from 11-1. Dartmouth students (must be present) can pick up a bagged meal containing 2 days worth of breakfast and lunch items. A new Andrew B. Cushman School Facebook page has been created to add another way to effectively communicate with parents. Right now, there are 2 on the web, please "like" the one that has the picture of the school rather than the one with the picture of basketball players. I am in the process of trying to merge the two pages so that there won't be any confusion. Through this page I am hoping that by mid-week I can do some videos for students that can include our morning messages and read-alouds. More info will follow as I get this work set-up. Also, beginning this week I will be calling all families to personally check in with you and your child. (The benefit of having a smaller school!) Please remember to check the Extended Learning Page as things are being added daily. We are looking forward to the addition of some resources from our speech-language, occupational and physical therapists so be on the lookout. I will be meeting with our staff virtually on Tuesday to collaborate together on ways that we can enhance our communication with you and your child. As always, if there is something you need or a question you need answered, please don't hesitate to contact your child's teacher or me via email. We are here to support you in anyway we can. Please say hello to your child for me. I wish you continued health, happiness and peace. Melissa McHenry
The lottery for preschool peer partner slots for the 2020-2021 school year will take place once school is back in session.
If your child's IEP expires during the period that we are closed, your child's IEP will be "Stay Put" until a new IEP is developed when we return to school. All TEAM meetings scheduled during the school closure are cancelled and will be rescheduled once school is back in session. Any Early Intervention Transition Home Meetings that were scheduled will also be rescheduled.
