Principal's Message

Greetings, Tiger Families!

Did you know that April is Autism Acceptance Month? One in 31 children is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder in the United States, according to the CDC. Our schools and staff play a vital role in creating and ensuring inclusive environments that accommodate and affirm autistic students. At Twain we value the variety of learning styles, backgrounds, experiences, and strengths that all of our students bring to our campus every day. We believe in the potential of our neurodiverse students and aim to provide them with an accepting, challenging, and supportive learning environment. All Tigers have a bright future ahead of them and we are privileged to be a part of it!

Learn more about FCPS special education services and our Twain special education department.

Sincerely,

Matt
