Specialized Transportation for Students with Disabilities
Date: August 25, 2021
Effective the start of the 2021-2022 school year, all students who received specialized, door-to-door transportation as indicated in their Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or in their 504 Plan as a result of the restrictive nature of their presenting disabilities, must have a responsible adult at the home to meet the student at drop-off at the end of the day. Students who are not met by an adult at drop-off will be transported to the After School Child Care Center at Rebecca Johnson School and parent/guardian will be contacted.
The bus companies will no longer accept letters from parent/guardian to waive this expectation.
Should a parent have concerns or wish to discuss the contents of their student’s IEP or 504 bus transportation services, please have them contact their school Evaluation Team Leader or Deb Duncan at duncande@springfieldpublicschools.com.

Dear the Academy at Kiley Families,
We hope all of you are doing well. We at the Academy at Kiley are excited to begin the school year, and our teachers and administrators are getting ready to make this an excellent learning experience for your student. During this time of social distancing we want to ensure that each of our new students will have access to high-quality curriculum and assignments.
Last spring there was more flexibility to our attendance and grading policy. This fall, grades will return to the standard A-F grading system, and we will no longer use the Pass-Fail grading system. You can expect your child will receive a high-quality education in a safe, supportive, and successful environment.
If you have any questions, please call either Imani Hines-Coombs or Michael Calvanese at 413-439-5458.
We believe that ALL students –without exception-can achieve at high levels, and we are committed to ensuring each students’ continuous growth.
Thank you and we hope to “Feel the Love” on our zoom!
