Hello Parents and Guardians.
I hope the new year has started off well for all of you.  It's been busy at school!! I'm so happy to be back in the swing of things after my surgery.  I'm down to just a cane and my PT is going well.

I wanted to share an interesting article that I came across yesterday.  Take a look when you get a chance.

As always, please reach out with any questions, concerns, news, etc at any time.  One of my biggest goals as a special educator is to maintain a "free and easy" line of communication with the parents and guardians of all of my students.

See you soon!

Patrick
