We are excited to offer a local transition event for our students with disabilities, and their families. Our surrounding communities and schools are welcome and encouraged to attend. This event is sponsored by the Gettysburg School District and South Dakota Parent Connection. It will be offered to students grade 8 through students in our 18-21 program.
