Response to Intervention Teams are made up of school administration, faculty and staff.

Please also feel free to contact the school psychologist assigned to your child's building to discuss your concerns.

Staff assignments are as follows:

District Psychologist:
Kristin Arnone

It is your right to have your child tested for a disability at any point according to IDEA regulations---please contact the Special Education Department 754-2045.

Please note that I am available to speak with you about your child’s learning needs at anytime.
