Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year!

There has been some new changes for the Special Education classroom! This year, instead of being
in one classroom all day. I have asked another teacher to take in your students as well to help me with the new
year! There will be changes for Special Education in North Valley Yohigh school that will start this year and will
change again next year! I am excited for changes and hopefully we will all adapt to these changes.

After this year, there will not be Career Rotation at the Career Center for my caseload to go and take
courses there to explore and to choose which career after high school that they will be successful in. Next year,
I will be offering a Career Center credit at the high school to cover all of what there suppose to be taking and adding
more skills that business will hire someday if there interested.

I would like for our class the freshman and the sophomores to go on some field trips to have a visual look of how the real world works. I want them to learn and grow on the field trips. In the four years I have been in the
special education industry, I never been on a school field trip with my students. This year, I think we are ready to
make changes. I want them to act polite and mature about these field trips. That way if they see something that
they want to do, we will let them have an opportunity to go see the world and still learn together as a huge class.

This year, I have asked the newest teacher of North Valley Yohigh school. Her name is Sally Asdoa and
I think she would be the one to help out special education. She teaches Regular Education World Geography for
9th grade and World History for 10th grade! She said yes to working with me with your child. This is her first year
here and I am happy that things are changing.

Self contained use to be where we had these old textbooks and we would have occupational
classes to help train our youth business skills, money management, manners, how to open a bank account,
how to write a professional resume, and how to become a better person in life. Now those days were over
and last year, we had to change the occupational curriculum to Access regular education material with a little
bit of occupational work. This year, we got new freshmans and our remaining sophomores and we decided to
split them up in the AM and PM classes instead of being in one particular classroom, we had to expand to two
classrooms where freshmans and the sophomores had their own classes whether in the AM or Pm with zero
distractions and two in one time for each particular student that we have in self contained.

I never thought my career as a Special Education teacher has changed into many way. I love coming
here to help your child improve with social skills and to get the most out of these classes before they leave
school whether they want to get their GED, college, go straight to work, or go into business management. As
a teacher, I've been doing this for four years now and I'm still committed to my job. Thank you parents for
trusting us with your kids because you know this is how education matters for them. These classes will
help determine their success and whatever path they choose, we're there to support them. This is a place
where teenagers can be changed into model citizens. Before doing this, I hated being a doctor because not
many doctors were educated on the game and they had no clue to what it was for what they were doing.
My true calling was to help the youth and the young to go farther in life. Without this job, lives wouldn't be change
and things would not be different today. I am so thankful to come here to instruct your child on the way of life. To learn together, to grow together, to have fun together and to experience life together. I look forward to another great school year!

My caseload, I know this does not apply to you but I figure, hey why not promote a college on a Special Education thread at North Valley! But this might be entitled to someone who is interested of teaching at a college in Special Education. Emp. Leopold Richmond is running a college, we are now partners and we send all of our senior graduates to this college. They just opened up and they might be looking for employers to help their college out. If interested, contact me.

( From the North Valley YOhigh thread) "We have a college that we are zoned and good partnership with that is run by Emp Leopold Richmond. The university is called: The Preparatory University of Yoworld. They have five Open majors to offer at Yo Prep, English ELA, Mathematics, Science and Biology, Speech and Drama, and Yo-History. They are currently seeking people to enroll and or take a job at YoPrep. Check out their Facebook page below: https://www.facebook.com/PrepYo/ Seniors and underclassmen can get a college visitor, stop by Edward Seamz, Sally Asdoa, or Ms. Niyah when you return to school for more details."

If your interest about this college, we can arrange a college visit in self contained sometime in January!

Have a safe break!

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT INFORMATION BELOW FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL WITH IMPORTANT NEWS! THANK YOU!

"Yesterday we had a first lock down drill of the semester! It was okay however, thank you for those who
followed directions. We had an incident in the building that YPD was involved and did a search on all
students, faculty and teachers. They believe someone was vandalizing the school function which we
have zero evidence of who did it or why. However, they found a few drugs and zero weapons from our
students. Please keep in mind to never bring drugs and or weapons. Yes, we think if there is ever a
time to protect yourself in school, you think we'd be okay with it? Think carefully of the decisions we
make. If we find you doing one of those two things, it won't be pretty!" - Principal Jack Easton

Thank you students and teachers for cooperating during this lock down! If you have more concerns
about the lock down or anything doing with bad behaviorist students, please ask our principal Jack
Easton or any faculty. Please do not spread rumors about this to any students. Thanks!
