Our ABLE and REACH students recently had a fire safety lesson presented by Firefighter Steve from our RMFD.
They learned important safety tips, including what to do in case of a fire emergency. Firefighter Steve visited the class, demonstrating his firefighting gear and equipment. The children were fascinated by his gadgets and uniform.
To reinforce the lessons learned, please discuss fire safety with your child at home. Ensure that your home has working smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.

Beth is a proud mom of two children: Jamie, an 18-year-old freshman at Harper College, and Joe, a 14-year-old freshman at Fremd. Outside of school, Beth is a busy mom, supporting her kids' activities and volunteering at her church.
When she has free time, she enjoys catching up on shows and finding fun activities for her family. Working at CLA has taught Beth a lot about the unique needs of our students and how to best support them. This experience has also helped her as a mom, providing insights into how to support the sensory needs of her own children.

Scott’s passion for making a difference and building strong relationships is what led him to become a School Social Worker. He is deeply committed to empowering students, helping them grow, and creating positive, supportive environments.
In addition to working directly with students, Scott enjoys helping schools develop training programs and sharing his expertise with staff on how to manage behavioral issues. He also excels at connecting schools with mental health resources and support networks.
Outside of his role at CLA, Scott enjoys spending time with family and friends, cooking, working on his yard, going to concerts, and watching football—though he admits being a Bears fan has its challenges! Scott is excited for a great school year, and he looks forward to getting to know the CLA community and watching each student thrive.
Welcome to the team, Scott!
