SCSD Families,
We are excited to explore interest from families for adaptive swimming lessons tailored to individuals with autism, anxiety, sensory needs, motor challenges, or those who learn differently. These lessons aim to provide a supportive and inclusive environment, helping participants build confidence, develop swimming skills, and enjoy the water safely.
Program Details:
When: Sunday evenings, 4:00 PM - 5:30 P.M. (30-minute sessions)
Where: Schenectady High School Pool
Cost: Free

PBIS Character Trait of the Month: Flexibility. This month, our Paige Pandas 🐼 will practice being flexible. To show flexibility means that you can adjust to changes well. Students
at Paige Elementary can show flexibility when their daily schedule changes
because of an activity or unexpected event. Students can show flexibility in
the community when something does not go as expected. For example, their favorite flavor
of ice cream is all gone at the ice cream shop or they were excited to see a movie but it was
sold out.
