Options for Tomorrow, 2004-05 The newsletter "Options for Tomorrow" is to provide information for transition planning for all students, parents and teachers! Since transition planning begins at age 14, articles are included to address the middle school age student as well as high school students. As transition planning is a team process, information about governmental and community resources will also be included. Any person who wishes to receive this newsletter via e-mail can send a request to subscribe by e-mailing loutrel_barbara@asdk12.org.

Using Options for Tomorrow

Options for Tomorrow is delivered via e-mail monthly (the 1st Thursday of each month) and is created in an Acrobat PDF format so that it is viewable by both Macintosh and PC computers. It has live links within the document - for example, an article may include a link to a Web site with more information. The link (web address) will be underlined and be written in blue ink - when the reader clicks on the addresses, the new Web site will open in a separate window. A black and white version that is more printer friendly is also available  -- be aware that this version won't have the clickable links.
