Identification Process!!

 There are several steps our office takes in collaboration with a committee and other departments to maintain the effectiveness and integrity of the screening process. Because of this, we prefer to offer a windows of time rather than exact dates so as not to worry or confuse families anticipating results. At this time, the identification process has been completed and notices are being prepared and sent out via USPS. Thanks for your patience and understanding!!
