The 4201 Schools Association today announced commencement and graduation schedules for its member schools. Schools are set to honor the achievement of New York’s blind, deaf, and severely physically disabled students at celebrations throughout the month.
“All of our students, their families, and our teachers and support staff have been working hard to achieve their goals for this school year. As June comes to a close, we take the time to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of students at all grade levels,” said Dr. Bernadette Kappen, chair of the 4201 Schools Association and executive director of the New York Institute for Special Education. “The academic achievement, socialization, and well-being of our students is the top priority of our schools, and we look forward to recognizing the accomplishments of our children on their special day.”
