Thank you TAFFY Presents
We are thrilled to extend our heartfelt thanks to TAFFY Presents for sponsoring the recent US Navy Band Country Current Concert. Thanks to their generous support, we were able to bring an exceptional performance of country music to our community.
The US Navy Band Country Current Concert was a tremendous success. The students loved listening to the music and dancing.
Once again, we want to express our sincere gratitude to TAFFY Presents for sponsoring this performance.

Medicaid Policy Changes
A change in federal Medicaid policy could impact the health care coverage of millions of students. In order to avoid gaps in coverage, families need to know:
- Families, especially those who have moved residences during the pandemic, should contact their state Medicaid offices to ensure their contact information is up to date.
- Families should watch their mail for letters about Medicaid and the state Children’s Health Insurance Program, or CHIP, status.
- Recipients must submit any renewal forms they receive to maintain coverage, which states could mail at any point between March 2023 and February 2024.
- Families who no longer qualify for Medicaid after the review may qualify for coverage through their state’s health insurance exchange.
Webinar Series: Let's Talk About It: Sexual Health! Parent and Professional Training (PEATC) Apr. 24 & 25, 6:00pm-8:00pm
Description:
Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are often not included in discussions around sexual health and wellness. In fact, many people don't view individuals with IDD as sexual beings, but we are all sexual beings.
It is critical for youth with disabilities to develop self-care skills, cultivate social skills, gain an understanding of appropriate behaviors, increase personal safety, and work toward becoming a more independent adult. This training will provide information for parents/guardians of students with IDD and the professionals that work with them to offer practical tools and strategies along the journey.
THIS TRAINING HAS 2 SESSIONS. REGISTRANTS SHOULD PLAN TO ATTEND BOTH THE APRIL 24th AND APRIL 25TH VIRTUAL SESSIONS.
This virtual training will be hosted via Zoom and will NOT be recorded.
Date(s):
4/24/2023 6:00 PM - 4/24/2023 8:00 PM,
4/25/2023 6:00 PM - 4/25/2023 8:00 PM
