The school is also offering a cooking class option for life-skills students to support IEP goals, expanding its culinary program and providing practical work experience through the school store. The language catalog will add Italian Level 1, and the district plans to distribute MacBook Neo laptops to replace earlier Chromebooks. "Overall," Smith said, "the school is ready for students' return on Tuesday, September 8, and the faculty and staff are looking forward to creating a positive school year."
