Dear Families,

Happy April! This month, we proudly recognize Autism Awareness Month, a time dedicated to building understanding, acceptance, and inclusion for individuals with autism. Throughout the month, our school community will focus on celebrating differences, promoting kindness, and learning how we can support one another.

Students will engage in age-appropriate activities and discussions that help them better understand empathy, inclusion, and the importance of embracing what makes each of us unique.

• Good Friday: A day observed by many families—please note this when planning schedules.
• Easter: We wish all families celebrating a joyful and peaceful holiday filled with happiness and time together.
