Shout-outs!

 

Dr. Tammy Forrest, Director of Special Ed, WPUSD - Thanks for stepping into her new position in WP with a willingness to communicate with parents and staff to develop positive working relationships.  This really does create a positive special ed climate in our district. I look forward to many more years of working together. Thank you for all your hard work and commitment. We appreciate her willingness to work through issues, even when we didn't agree. We were able to respect each other and maintain a positive relationship.  Kudos!! Tracy Costa, Jan 2010

Eli Gallup, Director of Special Ed, WPUSD - Thanks for helping get IEP documents online for SPED staff in WP. This has been invaluable in maintaining information on students! - Alex Joe ... Also thanks for being a willing communicator with SEAMS, me in particular, even when I know you must have been sick of me! Good luck in your future endeavors! - C. Conn, May 09

Ruben Ayala, Principal, FSE - Thank you for advocating for support services that improve the quality of Jacob's education! - Nicole Diab, May 09

Meghan Magee, 5th Gr Tcher, TBE - Thank you for continuing to bring perspective to our life even when you are not still teaching our child! In particular, we appreciate that you are training to be a Psych JUST for OUR family. We especially appreciate your recent following quoted perspective that "...You know this isn't real...right...that you are just trapped inside a reality TV show like that movie w/ Jim Carey??  One day you'll drive too far and run up against one of the "set" walls and this will all become evident!!" We will forever remember that and keep looking diligently for the "cameras" until we find them, knowing that this all a set-up.... Conns, May 09
