Continuing its mission of “teaching the extraordinary,” Tiegerman School at Woodside’s classes will contain ratios of 10 students to one special education certified teacher and one teaching assistant, eight students to one teacher and two teaching assistants and six students to one teacher and three teaching assistants.
The community is invited to join Tiegerman for a celebratory ribbon-cutting for the new building on September 24th at 10am at 70-24 47th Ave in Woodside. Attendees will enjoy a ceremony honoring Tiegerman’s newest school and recent growth.
