FROM AMY NOVOTNY: our Director
|
|
Dear RMDS families,
The end of the year is just around the corner. It does not seem possible that another school year has come and is almost gone. Our calendar of events between now and the last day of school is packed.
Many of the goals established at the beginning of the school year, especially the school improvement plan/action plan, have been accomplished. There have been numerous successes to celebrate. A short list of said successes include: the recent 20th Anniversary Gala, the RMDS Culinary Team's participation in a culinary competition in California, creating new programs for our after school programs and sports, in addition to most of all our students academically thriving. I would also like to note that through the year, I have had opportunities to see how our students achieve goals, that are also actively embraced by all staff, students and families.
Have you started planning your summer yet? Please do check out the RMDS summer camp, as our team is truly excited about offering ESY and Summer programs for our students.
Thank you for your continuous support of our students, teachers and staff.
RMDSly yours,
Amy J Novotny
Director

She discussed the history of early intervention and how different laws/research has impacted early intervention/deaf education for young deaf children and their families. Stacy shared her perspective of growing with her hearing family, navigating communication, involving other family members, looking for resources, and dealing with society’s views of deaf children and their families.
Stacy discussed school-home strategies, literacy strategies with book sharing principles, and resources for deaf children with cochlear implants. Stacy also shared Clerc Center resources and how families can benefit from resources.
