Dear Students and Families,

Welcome to the new school year! I am thrilled to welcome you to CBI at Cornwall Central High School. Whether you’re returning or joining us for the first time, I look forward to an exciting, supportive, and successful year together!

My name is Courtney McInerney, and I will be your child’s special education teacher this year. Our classroom is designed to provide a safe, structured, and engaging environment where students can grow academically, socially, and emotionally at their own pace. We focus on building life skills, communication, independence, and strong relationships—with plenty of fun along the way!

Here’s what you can expect this year:

• Individualized Instruction: Lessons and activities tailored to meet each student’s unique learning needs and goals.
  
  

• Functional Skills: Focus on real-world skills including daily living, communication, and job readiness.
  
  

• Social Development: Emphasis on teamwork, respect, and building meaningful peer relationships.
  
  

• Strong Collaboration: Regular communication with families and collaboration with therapists, support staff, and other professionals to support your child’s progress.
  
  

Communication is key, and I will be in regular contact through our school's email. Please feel free to reach out anytime with questions, concerns, or insights about your child. I value your partnership and know that working together makes a big difference in your student’s success.

The first day of school is September 4, 2025. Please send your student with the attached supplies by September 5th. 

Thank you for entrusting me with your child’s education. I am honored to be a part of their journey and can’t wait to see all they will achieve this year.

Warmly,

Courtney McInerney
