From the Kingsley Special Academy
Hello. We will be attempting to offer everyone a taste of the daily excitement and energy of life in our very special school here in virtual Kingsley. We also intend to communicate with all of our learning partners through our website. Families of the Kingsley children have always been our most valuable partners, and we hope the website will be a wealth of information and suggestions for you to use at home. We also hope that this will be a wonderful opportunity to stay in touch with all that is going on in the lives of the kids at school, providing a wealth of topics for discussion and joint exploration. This new method of communication will complement, not take the place of, the home-school links that are already in place, and we would love to hear your thoughts on our website (or any other element of Kingsley life, real or virtual).
