September 2022
Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! My name is Tara Travers and I am a speech language pathologist at School 5 along with Ms. Rebecca Lawer. Currently, Ms. Lawer and I are working collaboratively with classroom teachers to devise the best and least disruptive times to schedule your child for speech-language therapy. Until our caseloads are determined, the best way to communicate with me is by sending me an email: ttravers@yonkerspublicschools.org; by phone at School 5: (914)376-8320; or by sending me a message through my Class Dojo page from last school year: Ms. Travers’ Class 2021-2022. Once we have established our speech-language therapy caseloads for this school year, an invitation to join my new Class Dojo page will be sent out.
I hope you and your family had a restful and enjoyable summer! I am excited to see all of my returning students and meet all of you who are new to speech-language therapy with me. I look forward to a successful and fun year of learning with you all!
Kindest regards,
Tara Travers
Speech-Language Pathologist
