Return to School Message from the Special Education Department
Dear Parents,
I know that these are challenging times for many of you with all of the uncertainties surrounding the upcoming school year. I am writing this, in part, to let you know that you are not alone. Though we may not have all the answers right now, we are committed to working as partners with you to support your children through all facets of learning in the fall.
Our instructional team last week presented learning plans to our Board of Education, outlining two options for the start of school. We also held a “Community Conversation/ Q & A” live on Facebook yesterday but we understand that you may still have questions. Parent FAQ.pdf
Though there are still some issues to be determined, we have created an FAQ (attached) that will address some of the questions we have been asked. Know that we are committed to working with you to find answers to what we don’t yet know and more importantly, to support your children as we move forward.
Finally, I want to take a moment to thank you for your patience as we navigate through this. As Dr. Machesky has said, this is a public health crisis that has created an educational crisis all across this country. It’s not a situation any of us asked for, but I am confident that we will get through it together.
In partnership,
Jessica Carrier, Director of Special Education
Troy School District
