Parent/Student Handbook 

Welcome to the new school year! This school year, your child will have many opportunities to grow and develop as individuals. They will build positive relationships, learn new academic skills, build daily living skills and pre-vocational/employment skills, and develop confidence and self-esteem. The program that your child will be attending is designed for students whose needs have not been successfully met in a traditional classroom environment. The staff in your child’s program have a commitment to provide a positive learning experience which promotes a cooperative instructional partnership among family, school, and community. The following information should help you get acquainted with your child’s SASED program, policies, and procedures.
