Custodian Today?
Be sure to thank a custodian if you see
one today. Better yet, show your thanks
by respecting their work and keeping
our school clean, neat and tidy.
And don’t get blinded by the shiny
floors. WOW! They did a great job.
And NO, their great work is not a valid reason for you to
wear sunglasses in school. Sorry. (Nice try, though)

disabilities and offers a range of services, information,
and resources!
Students will have to meet with a Learning Specialist
with Services to Students with Disabilities (SSD) to
arrange accommodations even if they do not have
documentation.
SSD recommends that students have their first meeting
well in advance of starting classes. Ideally, this means
2-4 months before the start of the term. It takes time to
prepare an accommodation and service plan.
