To the Dover-Sherborn Community,
As the Director of Special Education and Student Services, my primary focus is on student-centered approaches and promoting student success. My role oversees Special Education, School Counseling and Nursing. I firmly believe that every student deserves an inclusive and supportive learning environment where their unique needs and abilities are recognized and nurtured.
We strive to ensure that all students, regardless of their individual challenges or disabilities, have equal access to a high-quality education. I work closely with educators, administrators, and support staff to develop and implement effective strategies that meet the diverse needs of our students.
One of my core principles is the importance of collaboration among stakeholders, including parents, teachers, and community partners. By fostering strong relationships and open lines of communication, we can create a comprehensive support system that empowers students to reach their full potential.
We are dedicated to providing the necessary resources and interventions to address students' unique needs. We continuously evaluate and refine our programs to ensure they are evidence-based and aligned with best practices in special education. By employing innovative approaches and leveraging technology, we strive to create engaging learning experiences that cater to each student's learning style and abilities.
Thank you for all of your support and collaboration to support all students.
Best wishes,
Kate
