Welcome to YOUR Schools

by Mr. Rex Watson

It is hard to believe how quickly the summer is slipping away. Those of us who work at school during the summer are often busiest when school is not in session and that, of course, makes the time go quickly.

There are several exciting things happening at USD 398 this summer besides all of the routine cleaning and maintenance. We have several major projects underway. First off, I am happy to say that students in the CLASS program will now be attending school at PBES. CLASS is a special program for students with severe or multiple handicaps that would have difficulty attending school without significant assistance. The CLASS program has been located at Florence for the past several years. Now students in the program will have access to art classes, P.E. classes, vocal music classes and other regular activities when appropriate. We look forward to hosting this important program for our Marion County Special Education Coop.
