I am writing to provide you with an update on our progress. On Wednesday, Dr. Matthews provided an update on MBUSD Schools 2020-21. Principals Gerger, Krzmarzick and Steinberg shared photos and successes about the opening of our initial elementary High Needs Hybrid cohorts at their sites. Please join me in thanking our special education teachers, support staff and service providers for their ongoing efforts and commitment to our students.
Celebrations:
Three High Needs Hybrid cohorts started at Meadows, Pacific and Pennekamp.
Special education in-person assessments are now underway at 4 out of 5 elementary schools.
Our elementary learning center leads and principals met to continue their planning for the next round of high needs hybrid cohorts. We expect to have start dates for the new cohorts at the end of next week.
MBMS and MCHS teams met to finalize plans to start in-person assessments next week.
Communication:
If you have not submitted your response to the High Needs Hybrid Parent Response Survey, please do so as soon as possible. Note: MBMS and MCHS are exploring potential schedules and more information will be shared soon. However, it would be so helpful to hear your initial thoughts about returning to a High Needs Cohort.
Our next SEAC meeting will take place on Tuesday, October 27 at 3:30 p.m. Click here to RSVP. The agenda will be posted on our MBUSD SEAC webpage on Monday.
Lastly, you can find the previous newsletters and other important information on our MBUSD Special Education Webpage.
