What's next is special.

Last December, Norwell Community Schools submitted an Intent to Withdraw letter to Adams-Wells Special Services Cooperative with an effective withdrawal date of July 1, 2024. Since that time, we have been increasing our special education staff and building capacity for increased programming. As we continue this work, we would like to invite anyone within our school district and community interested in special education programming to join our focus group meeting on September 13th. New Education Services Director, Mindy Scheumann, will be leading the meeting. Listed below are additional opportunities for you to participate and be involved in our program-building activities. It is always an open invitation.
