Welcome back! Transitions can be a challenge and bring about some big emotions for many of us. I hope that going from summer into fall has been a fairly smooth one for all of you and your kiddos. And if this is your first year at Baldwin or you're just coming upon this site, I'm so glad you're here. Mrs. Murray and I are eager to host 3-4 CPAP gatherings touching on ways to help your child thrive, as well as ways to support yourselves and your families as parents and guardians of a student receiving special education services. We will get that information to you soon. In the meantime, the incredible Family and School Support Team FASST hosts numerous events and get-togethers that you may find of interest. See the flyer below. Looking forward to seeing you at one of our functions soon, and feel free to reach out anytime! You can contact me through this website. |
