Every April, schools throughout New Jersey participate in schoolwide and community activities to commemorate Autism Acceptance Month. In support and recognition of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the New Jersey Department of Education’s (NJDOE) Office of Special Education (OSE) promotes acceptance and awareness of ASD during April as an opportunity for educators, students, and parents to celebrate students on the spectrum.
The NJDOE OSE invites you to celebrate our students on the spectrum by visiting the Virtual Art Expo throughout the month of April.  Click on the Link Below to visit the Virtual Expo where you can find Mrs. Byrnes' student Zoe Cordero's artwork!
