LPSD 2020-2021 Preschool Registration Night
What is your young adult going to do after high school?

A question many parents ask themselves as their students go through high school. The Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) and The Resource Exchange (TRE) will partner up to provide two 60-minute information sessions to LPSD families and their youth. The sessions will focus on students who receive and/or are eligible for special education services with the intent of discussing pre-employment transition services and community resources.

Both sessions will be held at Lewis-Palmer High School on February 5 and 12. Please RSVP to stemmer@lewispalmer.org if you would like to attend.
