What a Year
The last week of the preschool year. Let's close it out present, proud, and together, and celebrate Friday night at the Giants game.
Team Reflection
Team,
What a year. As we reach the last week of the preschool year, I keep coming back to how much we've grown together, not just in what we do, but in how we do it.
I want you to know I see you. The early mornings, the hard conversations with families, the flexibility every time a schedule shifted, the care you bring to every child who walks through our doors. This organization runs on your expertise and your heart, and I don't take either for granted.
And this Friday, we get to do something just for fun. We're headed to the Giants game together. No agendas, no case reviews, just us, celebrating a year of real work and each other.
Thank you for everything this year. Let's celebrate it, and let's celebrate each other.
See you at the game.
Charlene
Updates & Announcements
Last week the Clinical Leadership Council adopted our first shared Strategy Card, a common tool that helps speech, OT, ABA, and IDP coordinate care around each child. It's a real step toward the integrated model we've been building, and it happened because our clinical leaders brought honest cases and real friction points to the table instead of polished summaries. Thank you to the CLC for the work behind this.

A quick reminder about the extra desk in the Family Services office. This space is set up for working and printing only. Please keep breaks and lunches out of that area, since Ms. Paulina may need it available for sensitive conversations with families or clinicians. If you need a space for breaks or meetings, please see Ms. Megan. Thank you for helping keep this space clear and available when needed.
As we wrap up the preschool year, fun activities like trips to the park will likely be more frequent. Please be mindful of any students who have therapy sessions, regular or make-up, or specific ABA start and end times. If you need clarification on scheduling, please check in with Family Services.
Medical, Dental, Vision: Thank you for completing the open enrollment process. As a reminder, these benefits go into effect August 1st.
If you're enrolled in an FSA, complete all medically verifiable purchases and expenses by 7/31/2026.
Champ Plan open enrollment is July 20-24. Optional employee education virtual meetings will be held Tuesday and Wednesday to ask questions and learn more. More details to come.
As we move from Insperity to ADP, all approved planned time off, PTO, and sick time balances will transfer. 401K plans will transition as well, with setup opportunities in September with the new carrier.
All available plan information is on the Team Dashboard.
