Are you a student that has accommodations and wants to go to college?

Students and parents, please join us for a special presentation by a former HRHS student with Mild/Moderate accommodations about how she conducted her college search, her mother, Melissa Cermak (Assistant Director, Access Center, MSU of Denver) and Judy Jordan (Principal of DCSD Transition Bridge Program). We will be discussing the questions a prospective student with accommodations needs to be asking, the role parents play in this journey and the general services/requirements provided from colleges. There will be a question and answer session after the presentations.
