Dear Parents and Friends of our SLC,

We are delighted to be starting the school year 2010 with our same staff and two of our previous students. We had two students ‘graduate’ to the Askew SLC at the end of last year. This year promises to be an exciting one, as the entire structure of our school district seems to be changing. I anticipate that there will be more students coming through our door as school gets underway and will let you know when this happens. In the meantime, we look forward to putting the information gathered over summer, at workshops, seminars and training, to good use and we look forward to seeing our little ones and the changes that have occurred when they were not with us!

I personally look forward to working with you as team in order to support each student in the best way possible. I welcome your insight and ideas, as there is no one that knows a child better than his or her parents. You are the true experts! Please consult the calendar for upcoming events at school. I understand how difficult it is to find reliable babysitters but, if at least one parent can attend the various functions it will be greatly appreciated. You are very much a part of Ashford even if it is not your local school and your child’s presence here is important to us all. Attending school functions is a wonderful way to network with other parents and to feel a part of the school.  We all look forward to seeing you. Feel free to email me if you have any questions or concerns and I will gladly get back to you as soon as possible.

Here’s to a wonderful school year!!!

Ann, Roohi and Shahana
