The teachers and staff have done a tremendous job with our son to the best of their abilities and my husband and I have worked with the school and our son to help him succeed working with the staff and Dr. Tomon has been amazing as have the other staff members with keeping my husband and I informed of everything. We will continue to work together with each other for our son's sake and a huge shout out to Officer Sloan for all he has done.
