I''m moving to Long Branch next month and my son will be attending second grade. He is currently in a 504 plan at Strathmore Elementary in Aberdeeen New Jersey. I was wondering if you offer Special Education at your school. His academic skills are age appropriate. Please get back to me at earliest convenience. Thank You. Susan Stone
