What: Toilet Training Success: Practical Strategies for Children with Autism
When: Thursday, October 8, 2026 at 6:00-7:30 p.m.
Where: Virtual (CARD SUNY Albany)
Cost: FREE!

This webinar focuses on why toilet training may be difficult for children with autism or other disabilities and how to approach it in a way that will be most successful for your child. Using concrete examples, families will learn how to meaningfully set goals, break down the steps of the process, communicate clearly, increase motivation, and problem solve when challenges arise. An action plan will be provided to complete during or following the webinar.

Following this presentation participants will be able to:
1) Determine an appropriate current goal for toilet training based on your child's current readiness signs.
2) Create a plan for the toilet training process based on this goal.
3) Identify supports to communicate toileting expectations, increase motivation for your child, and problem solve once toilet training has been started.

Dear families,
Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school!
Dates: September 21-24, 2026
Location: Elm Street Library


This is a great opportunity to build your child’s home library with new books that will get them excited about
reading, while also earning funds for our school.
The easiest way to let your child shop the Fair independently is by creating a Book Fair eWallet through our
school homepage. It’s easy to set up and easy for family and friends to add funds.
With eWallet, you’ll also have the chance to contribute to Share the Fair™—the giving program that supports
students at our school who need help buying books. Consider participating so that no child leaves the Fair
empty-handed!

https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/elmstreetelementaryschool

Preview the books coming to the Fair by taking a 360° virtual tour via our school’s Book Fair homepage and
explore the titles, watch video book trailers, and more.
We can’t wait to see you at the Fair and help every student discover a book they’ll love!

Please see attached SACC information flyer.
If you have any questions, please contact Teresa Rando at Trando@wcsdletsgo.com
