For the Teachers and Assessment Specialists:


Christmas is just around the corner and Be An Angel would like to provide the special needs students, including the deaf and hard of hearing, from low-income families in your school with holiday gifts. These gifts are made possible through the generosity of thousands of donors and volunteers within our community.

You have been selected by your district's special education department for participation in this program. Registration of students will begin 8am, October 1st 2024 and continue until 8am, October 28th 2024 or until your district allocation is filled, whichever comes first.
The children we are targeting are special needs, including deaf ed students and come from families that are the most economically challenged in the district. Those students eligible for the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program may be a good starting point for qualification. Students must be considered eligible for an Autistic, Life-skills, MI, MI/VI, PPCD or Deaf Education Program. Students classified as Emotionally Disturbed, Learning Disabled or SI only do not qualify. (They must have additional special conditions.)

Below you will find instructions for the easy step-by-step process to sign-up your children. When each "Gift Form" is completed, an acknowledgement email will be sent immediately to the email address you provide on the form. If you do not receive a confirmation email for each child, select Children's Gift Information menu item and confirm it is listed there. Gift bags will be delivered Wednesday morning, December 11, 2024.

Please read through all 11 Instructions before beginning the registration process on October 1, 2024.
