IvyNotes: The week of February 12th
A weekly look ahead with dates and event details to help keep you informed. 

A Note from Susan Holt

Calendar reminder; students will not have classes this Friday (February 16th) because of a scheduled Professional Day for our teachers and Monday (February 19th) because of Presidents' Day. We hope you enjoy your long weekend!

Congratulations to Ivymount's MAP program,  Dr. Steve Kane and Dr. Eve Muller on their work, "Using Film Study to Teach Perspective Taking in High School Students with Autism and Other Social Cognition Challenges." This article has been accepted by the Journal of Child and Adolescent Behavior and is based on the 2013 Film Study program at Ivymount.  
Our MAP student, along with Ivymount teacher, Dr. Kane, draws a thought bubble for Marty from "Back to the Future." 

Thanks to Locust Grove for being a wonderful partner in our School to Work program. The Nature Center is one of our Post High School's job sites that provides valuable vocational training.  Click here to learn more about the Locust Grove Nature Center. Check out these photos taken last week: 


Have a great week, 

Susan Holt, Director
