Mission Statement

SPECIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT

The Special Services Department offers a full continuum of programs for eligible students to support their academic success and social/emotional needs.  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.
