to help the students and their families adjust and succeed during this difficult
period. They detailed the various methods used to date so that the students and
their families have needed materials and to ensure that they know that they are
not alone during this period. They also
were very thankful to the faculty that have worked tirelessly to ensure that
the students and their families know what to expect and when to expect it. Stacey indicated due to the hard work and
effort of Cathy Cerefin, all CSE and 504 meetings have occurred within NYSED
mandated timelines. Ms. Cerefin was fundamental in scheduling the meetings and
making sure that all participants were invited. All administrators are very
proud of the way our faculty and staff have worked diligently to meet the needs
of our community. Many community members have commented to Board members that
the teachers are very accessible during this time and are doing very well. Great job everyone!
