Did you know…..Students and parents with concerns around accommodations and inclusion for West and East end of year activities and Graduations should reach out to the Student Activities Coordinators at each school to discuss their specific situation to come up with the best plan. There is only one ramp on the dais at Liacouras Center. Create a plan to move around safely.
