Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to Hamburg Area School District, where we believe in nurturing the potential of every student, regardless of their abilities or challenges. As the Director of Special Education and Student Services, I am honored to lead a team dedicated to ensuring that every child receives the support and resources they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Hamburg is committed to the principle of educating "Every Child, Without Exception." This means that we recognize and celebrate the unique strengths and talents of each individual student, including those with special needs. Our goal is to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment where all students feel valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential.

We understand that every child learns differently, which is why we offer a range of specialized programs and services to meet the diverse needs of our students. From personalized education plans to adaptive technology and assistive resources, we strive to provide comprehensive support that addresses the individualized needs of each student.

But our commitment goes beyond just providing services. We believe in fostering a culture of acceptance, understanding, and inclusion throughout our schools and communities. By working collaboratively with parents, educators, and community partners, we can create a truly inclusive educational experience that prepares all students for success in school and beyond.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about the special education services and resources available in Hamburg Area School District. Together, let's ensure that every child has the opportunity to flourish and achieve their dreams, because at Hamburg, every child truly matters—without exception.

Respectfully,

Robert Marra

Director of Special Education and Student Services
