Staff Spotlight🔦: Meet our teacher Amber Quinn! 💫 Amber constantly creates a familiar, safe, and welcoming space for students. She starts her day by greeting students and supporting a warm welcome to homeroom, then shifts into dedicated reading intervention, and ends her time with her students supporting their curriculum knowledge across all contents.

Our educators provide crucial academic, emotional and physical support to students with disabilities, in addition to believing in their capability of high academic achievement.
