A Message from the CAPE

  •  
     
    As the school year comes to a close, we would like to wish all of our families a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer.
    Please remember that the CAPE Resource Center will remain open throughout the summer months and is available to assist families with questions, resources, referrals, and guidance related to special education, transition planning, community programs, and adult services.
    We are also pleased to continue our Parent Support Groups in July, providing families with opportunities to connect, share experiences, and learn from one another. Information about meeting dates and registration can be found on our calendar of events.
    If you need assistance at any time this summer, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to help and support you and your family.
    We look forward to connecting with you and wishing you a wonderful summer!

    Warm regards,

    Nicole Fried
