For families new to our team,
Hello! My name is Jaclyn Kimbrough (recently married, previously Racano), and I am thrilled to be a part of your child’s educational journey. I am originally from New Jersey, in 2004 my family and I moved to Saint Augustine and have considered it home ever since! This is my 29th year in education, with over 10 years of experience in Exceptional Student Education. I am a proud mother of three sons, in my free time, I enjoy spending quality time with my loved ones at the beach, reading books, and playing with our adorable puppies, Frankie, Dino and George. Should you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me anytime. [email protected]
The Bridge Program at GRMS supports students that have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) that includes specific goals in the Social/Emotional Behavior, Independent Functioning and/or Communication domains. Many students also benefit from a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) and counseling services.
The focus of our program is to teach students alternative behaviors to replace challenging ones, with data collected to monitor their progress. The ultimate aim of the Bridge Program at GRMS is to gradually reintegrate students into the general education setting with minimal support.
