RE:
"OPENING DAY"
I’d like to welcome all of you back
to another school year in the Special Education Division. I hope
that you enjoyed the summer vacation and that you are excited about
another year of working with students and their families.
In our
continuing efforts to be “green,” this year we will once again be
sending you the Opening Day Packets on-line. They will be available
to you as of today, September 1st. Please take the time to read
through all materials as there is a great deal of relevant and
important information for you there.
The Board
Policy manual is now available on the Capital Region BOCES website,
address
http://capregboces.org/, on the left-hand side under “Board
Policies.” Please know that you are responsible for reading and
adhering to all of these policies.
Directions for accessing your Opening Day Packet are as follows:

Day Packet
Please note
that the SAVE regulations require that all teachers review their
school’s safety plan with students at the start of the school year,
and that parents should receive a copy of this as well. For those
of you located at host districts, these plans can be obtained from
the host building administrator. For those of you located at
separate sites such as the Rotterdam Academies, Maywood, or the
Maritime Center, the BOCES plans should be followed. This can be
obtained from your Regional Principal, and should be reviewed at the
start of the school year.
Opening Day
is set for Wednesday, September 2, 2009 at Union College in
Schenectady. You have received a formal invitation under separate
cover. I look forward to seeing you all there and to beginning
another school year with you. I hope you enjoy the rest of the
summer!
