Parents and Guardians,
The following message contains reminders about our arrival and dismissal procedures.
Parent Letter
We are continuing to celebrate Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Awareness Month! Everyone has something to say, even if they communicate in a different way. AACs allow our students to share their thoughts, feelings, ideas, and needs. If you meet someone who uses AAC, be patient, give them time to respond, and listen to what they have to say because their voice and ideas matter. We are proud to introduce Maxx, Adrian, and Ayden!



On Fridays we wear red, blue, and gold! Helps us show our Shell Pride and support our football team as they begin their playoff run on Saturday.

October is AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) Awareness Month, and we couldn't be prouder to celebrate our amazing students! 💬✨
Every student deserves a voice, and AAC tools—from communication boards to speech-generating devices—empower our learners to express their thoughts, connect with others, and share their unique personalities with the world.
This month, we highlight the incredible progress, dedication, and creativity of our students as they lead the way in showing that everyone has something to say.
Join us in celebrating AAC users everywhere! 💙

It's GO TIME! School starts today for our kindergarten students! We are ready to welcome them in and so excited to have our entire school family together!
Kindergarten parents, please remember that this is the only day that we allow you to walk your child into the building. After today, all students will be dropped off in the car line in front of our school.
I am going to reshare our arrival and dismissal procedures for everyone so that we can keep everything running safely and smoothly.
*Important reminder: When picking your child up by car, please have your car sign in the window. This ensures that even when someone new is helping with dismissal, we are equipped to keep the process efficient, safe, and smooth. Thank you!
