Dear Parents/Guardians:

I know this is a time of extreme challenge for you and your family. We are working to ensure that your child is given the same opportunities to continue with their Special Education services throughout the school closure. Our Special Education Teachers in-district have set up virtual classrooms through Google Classroom. Our related service providers will be contacting you to set up therapy online. We are working diligently to make this happen. In addition, we are partnering with BOCES to be sure services continue from all providers as best they can. Please be sure to update me if there has been any change in your contact information. You can email me at: moconnell@westmorelandschool.org or call and leave a voicemail at school @ (315) 557-2637.

Also, we will do our best to continue CSE meetings through the end of the school year. We will be setting up phone or google meetings for this. Mrs. Nolan will be calling to find a time that works best with your schedule.

If you feel that your child is in need of counseling, you can reach out to our counselors at any time. Their contact information is below.
