Dear Parents,

After a first year of existence cut short by the global pandemic linked to COVID-19, we can still say mission accomplished! We have succeeded, through teamwork and collaboration with families and various stakeholders, in getting to know each of our students well and we are proud of the development of each of them. Our second year is now off to a start in our beautiful school with more team players. In fact, this year we will double our clientele to welcome 16 groups of students.

I realize that it is not always easy to entrust your child with special needs to other people. You are the person who knows your child best and knows how to meet their needs. This is why, at the Brenda-Milner Regional School, we work with you to promote a smooth integration for your child into our environment. We want to develop a relationship of trust with you in order to work together to design an adapted intervention plan that meets the specific needs of your child. We believe that all of our students deserve a place in school where they feel good and can grow; it is by working together that we will get there.

We are also proud to work with professionals from the health network. It is by sharing our expertise that we will achieve the objectives set in our students’ intervention plan.

I am very proud to welcome you to our beautiful school and look forward to meeting you.
