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 2025 and continue until 8am, October 23th 2025 or until your district allocation is filled, whichever comes first.
The children we are targeting are special needs, including deaf & hard of hearing students and come from families that are the most economically challenged in the district. 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 register your children. You MUST complete the entire process once you complete Step 1!! You cannot “save” your space for later!!! 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. You MUST complete the entire process once you complete Step 1!! You cannot “save” your space for later!!!

Gift bags will be delivered Wednesday morning, December 10, 2025.
