Thank you
Thank you
As we close out the school year, we want to take a moment to say thank you to each and every one of you on the MPS Special Education team.
We know the work isn’t easy. It’s complex, emotional, and often goes unseen. But your efforts have not gone unnoticed. You’ve continued to push for equity, inclusion, and excellence for every learner.
On behalf of all the DPFs, thank you for showing up, speaking up, and standing strong. We are proud to work alongside you.
Wishing you a restorative and well-earned summer, you deserve it. 💙
