Dear John Archer School Families,

To address the needs of John Archer School students who require supervision or internet access during this time of virtual instruction, we are offering a limited number of spaces in our Learning Support Center at John Archer School.  In this center, children will be supervised and supported by our very own John Archer School staff.  Social distancing, face coverings, and CDC guidelines will be enforced unless for reasons related to disability or medical conditions adherence to the above is not feasible. 

As we continue to plan and prepare, please take a few moments, and complete the survey that will provide valuable information specific to John Archer School.

Core Vocabulary and Communication​

Core Vocabulary refers to the small number of words that make up more than 70-91 % of what we say on a daily basis.  At the John Archer School, we are working to increase the capacity of our students to engage in appropriate social interaction with peers and adults and to generalize those skills in the community.  Below is a sample of the core vocabulary board that is used throughout our school.
