We are opening the school with 4 Kindergarten classes of 25 for a total of 100 youngsters. One class has been designated Integrated Team Teaching (previously known as Collaborated Team Teaching) and will serve 10 students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) for services within the general education setting. Samantha taught in a CTT classroom and is delighted to have this opportunity to serve children in an inclusive setting.
