PPCD in Summer - Nagla

[Guest guest]

Just called our home campus, and was told this was not available in

Plano. When I responded that I was told that PPCD summer school was

available by the president of ASCC, they referred me to the summer

school hotline at . When I selected the special ed

prompt, it was only a 3 week remedial Math program for children 6th-

8th grade and families must pay for it. They sure make it hsrd for

parents to have a clue what is availsble for their child.

Can you please look into this for me? My two year old will be three

in May.

Thanks.
