Principal's Welcome
Dear Transition Program Families, Students, and Staff,
I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable summer break. It is wonderful to reconnect as we prepare for another great year of learning, community building, and student success.
To our returning students and staff, welcome back. I am eager to see the continued progress you will make this year. I deeply appreciate the dedication and positive energy you bring to our program every day.
I also want to extend a very warm welcome to our new Transition students, families, and staff members. We are thrilled to have you join our community. This program thrives on partnership, and we look forward to working closely with you to support our students in reaching their independent living, employment, and community participation goals.
We are looking forward to the start of the 2026-2027 school year. The first day of school for our Transition students will be Tuesday, August 18. Please note that our first day back will follow a minimum day schedule.
