STEWART, Business Administrator/Board Secretary CHEROKEE HIGH SCHOOL SENECA HIGH SCHOOL January 2020 RE: Transition to the Lenape Regional High School District Dear Parent / Guardian: We look forward to beginning the process of transition to high school. As you may be aware, your child’s education will become the responsibility of the Lenape Regional High School District effective July 1, 2020. To begin this transition, the Lenape Regional staff would like to invite both parents and students to a special education orientation meeting at the high school that your child will be attending. At this meeting, we will present an overview of the entire transition process. Special education staff will discuss program options, Child Study Team staff will discuss case management services, and students may tour the facility. Due to the group format, we will not be able to discuss individual students. However, individual transition meetings will be scheduled in the coming months to discuss your child’s specific needs. If your child attends an out-of-district placement, some of the program information may not be applicable. Your individual transition meeting at the out-of-district school will be more relevant. However, we welcome you to attend this general meeting if you choose. Although we encourage you to attend your home school presentation, if you are unable to do so, please feel free to join us at any of the following meetings: School Day and Date Time Shawnee Wednesday, January 22, 2020 5:15 p.m. (before 8th Grade Parent Night) Lenape Thursday, January 23, 2020 following 8th Grade Parent Night that begins at 6:00 p.m. Seneca Thursday, January 23, 2020 following 8th Grade Parent Night that begins at 6:00 p.m. Cherokee Wednesday, February 5, 2020 6:00 p.m. (before 8th Grade Parent Night/Curriculum Expo) In case of inclement weather requiring school closing, meetings will be rescheduled and new dates will be available at www.lrhsd.org. We hope that you will set aside this night to join us! Sincerely, Patricia Piserchia Director of Special Services TRUTH • HONOR • KNOWLEDGE .
