My Project

Having a clean and unsoiled rug, along with keeping the classroom sanitized and clean is a significant factor in our medically fragile immune compromised room. Our students have an array of different diagnosis and symptoms, that we are constantly cleaning and assuring to keep our children safe. Along with keeping our staff and other providers safe as well. It is very important that we continue to keep both student and staff healthy and in good care. We have also included devices that equip our students with their social-emotional and academic learning in line with each IEP requirements for each student.
