I am generally available during first lunch (except Thursdays) and after school for appointments.
Students are invited to schedule an appointment by talking to me at school or by using the above email address.
Parents are invited to schedule appointments by calling or emailing.

Although I prefer the term "exceptionalities", rather than "disabilities", I recommend the video below.  One of the most significant obstacles faced by individuals with exceptionalities is a negative self-image.  Life is full of challenges:  some small, some large, some temporary, others permanent, some visible, and many invisible.  Too often, we allow these challenges to define us, rather than shape and mold us in positive ways.  The people highlighted in this video recognized that their lives could be much bigger than their exceptionality.  They worked hard, set big goals, and achieved great things. YOU WILL, TOO!  --Mrs. Portley
