The week before a school year begins is packed for the Bloomingdale staff. It started with an All Staff Meeting hosted by our Executive Director, José Velilla. Next came sessions with our curriculum consultant Betsy Evans and a session with our mental health consultant Lesley Koplow. The education portion finished up with a workshop on Autism with Columbia researchers. Throughout, the teachers were cleaning and organizing their classrooms and holding home visits. Somehow, it all got done, and the teachers were ready for Phase In.
We are looking forward to a wonderful new year!
