📚 Looking for more support navigating your child’s school year?

From understanding your child’s IEP to supporting literacy, math, and communication skills, families play such an important role in helping their child learn and grow both at home and at school.

Beyond the Classroom is a NEW MDSC education program designed to provide families with practical tools, resources, and connections to support their child throughout the school year!

The program is recommended for families with children in grades Pre-K through 5th.

Throughout the year, parents will come together for four IN-PERSON Parent Learning & Connection Days focused on:

✨ IEP Support
📚 Literacy
➕ Math
💬 Communication & Technology

Parents will explore adaptive materials, learn practical strategies, and take home resources from experts, while also having the opportunity to connect with other MDSC families navigating similar experiences in their child’s education.

The program also includes a Student Social Learning Day and an End-of-Year Family Social for the whole family!

Our first in-person session is September 19! Space is limited and registration is still open!
