The principal is now Mrs Cassandra Heifitz. She is very knowledgeable about special education issues – both in terms of how to think about them in the classroom setting and in terms of how they might impact behavior/discipline.
We have had a really positive experience with them as it relates to special education, especially with Mrs Heifitz, Mr Mckall, Mrs Willis and Mrs McKinley. They really care and want to do right by all students. They see the process as a team one where the parents are critical members and they are willing to work together with parents to figure out how to best serve the student.
