Julie Billiart Schools has helped my child become a better version of himself. The teachers and therapists at JB really know and understand how to reach children who learn differently.

I am incredibly honored to be writing this letter as the Board Chair of Julie Billiart Schools. I’m grateful for the opportunity to actively engage with and support a school with such a powerful mission. The work started by the Sisters of Notre Dame almost 70 years ago, to serve those who learn differently, is one that impacts so many families. When children struggle academically or socially, it affects the entire family. That is why the work that JB does is so critical. JB wraps a team of intervention specialists and therapists around each child in order to help them find their own paths to success. Not only does the child thrive, he or she leaves JB feeling empowered.
The Board of Directors is responsible for working with the school leadership to advance this mission while exercising fiduciary oversight and ensuring accountability. The vision of serving students with our unique learning environment and approach, all supported by the charism of the Sisters of Notre Dame - what we call the “JB Way” - is what guides everything we do.
I genuinely thank all of you for believing in the work of Julie Billiart Schools. The children and families we serve depend on you. To everyone in our community - parents, faculty and staff, advocates, providers, donors, grantees, and friends - thank you for all you do to support our children and our mission. The JB Way would not be possible without each one of you.
