Welcome back to what promises to be an exciting and productive school year! We hope you and your families enjoyed a restful summer and are ready for the opportunities that lie ahead.

The Special Services team remains dedicated to providing exceptional support that meets each student's unique needs. This year, we continue our mission to ensure every student receives appropriate accommodations, modifications, and services that enable them to access the curriculum and achieve their fullest potential.

Special Services will communicate program updates and important information and dates for families in Dr. Stager's newsletter. We have also published IEPs to the Parent Portal for easier access. PDF instructions are available here, but if you need additional assistance with the Parent Portal, please contact Courtney McIntosh at cmcintosh@ctsdnj.org. 

Case manager assignments have been mailed to parents and guardians. If you have any questions about your child's case manager or need clarification about services, please don't hesitate to contact our office. Strong partnerships between home and school are fundamental to ensuring each student's success.

We're pleased to introduce Danielle Nugent in her new role as our Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), and Christa Brand in her new role as our Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA). Both will provide comprehensive support to students across all four district buildings. We're excited about the expertise they bring and the additional opportunities this creates to better serve our students and families.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Paccione, Director of Special Services
