A word from Tara Glades, Director of Special Education…

We’ve made it to fall! Cooler temperatures have arrived, and classrooms across the cooperative are filled with learning, activities, and opportunities for growth.

As parent-teacher conferences approach, we look forward to connecting with families to celebrate student strengths, discuss areas for growth, and plan together for continued success. Every student brings unique talents, needs,  and possibilities, and every step forward is worth celebrating.

At the Coffey County Special Education Cooperative, we know that strong partnerships with families help students thrive. Families, educators, and staff are all part of the same team, working together to help each student learn, grow, and succeed.

Before we know it, the holiday season will be here, followed by a fresh start in 2027! This busy season offers opportunities to celebrate progress, strengthen connections, and show kindness.

Remember, we are all a team! Please reach out if you need support or have questions or concerns. We are here to help!
