The Special Education Department offers a full continuum of programs for eligible students to support their academic success.  Students are encouraged to participate in general education classes whenever possible with appropriate modifications, accommodations, and supplementary aids and services.  Many courses provide in-class support sections taught by both a general education teacher and a special education teacher.  This collaborative teaching approach combines the expertise of the content area specialist and the special educator to meet the varied learning needs of students.  Students who demonstrate more significant weakness in academic areas may receive instruction in special education classes specifically designed to address these deficits.

We believe in celebrating all kinds of minds in supporting children and their pursuit of learning and happiness.

Special Services include the Child Study Team, Special Education Instructional staff and related specialists.

Children who are identified and tested, and if eligible, receive an individualized educational program to support and/or replace the regular educational program.

Parents and school personnel work together throughout this process in developing an appropriate program to meet the unique student needs. Parents or instructional staff may refer a child for Special Services.
