We, the families and staff of Camelot Center, recognize that the family is the most critical influence in a child's life, and therefore, a strong and active partnership between home and school is necessary to achieve the high expectations we have for our students. We create this partnership between home and school based on our commitment to the auditory/oral approach in educating students who are deaf and hard of hearing. We will focus on the development of listening skills and spoken language, and on the development of academic and social-emotional skills. These skills will lead our students toward full inclusion n their school and home communities. Our partnership, which is grounded in mutual respect, understanding and trust, is dependent on open and on-going communication between home and school.
