IEP Consultation Forms

Parents and Guardians -  Just a reminder that IEP Consultation Forms went home last week. Please take a few moments to update your child's information and provide suggestions for the Term 1 IEP. The teachers and I will be completing the IEP's in the next couple of weeks and appreciate your input. The IEP's will go home on October 17, 2017 for your review.  Please contact Mrs. James if you have any questions or concerns about the IEP process.

Welcome Back

Welcome Back to St. Augustine - 2017/2018 School Year

I hope that you and your families enjoyed a fun filled and relaxing summer.  It is wonderful to see all the students back at school.  I am excited for another year of learning and growing.  I will be sending home some information this week regarding IEP's as we begin to prepare the IEP's for Term 1.  As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.  :)
