October 6 was National Coaches Day! Let’s give a big shoutout to all the coaches across our district for their hard work and commitment to our student-athletes!
On October 9, the Student Services Department and HEWSEPAG hosted a successful Special Education Resource Fair at Hightstown High School, where families had the opportunity to connect with various service providers and learn about the wide range of support available to their children.
Attendees enjoyed a presentation by the Student Services department, met with representatives from state agencies, mental health services, and therapy providers, and explored transition services for older students. The event also featured fun crafts for children and delicious catered food provided by the East Windsor Education Association.
Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this event a great success!
