Special Services Department

VISION STATEMENT
Each student has equitable access to innovative, high-quality instruction in a supportive environment that fosters academic, social, and emotional growth, while closing learning and social gaps in order to enhance student achievement.

Mission Statement

Special education teachers will work collaboratively with general education teachers to provide an appropriate education in the least restrictive environment for all students. Special education supports and services are provided to ensure academic, social, emotional, behavioral, adaptive, and physical needs of all students with disabilities are met.  Priority is placed on serving students with disabilities in the general education setting, being taught alongside their general education peers. The majority of our students are served in their general education classrooms. In less common cases, the IEP team may determine that alternative instruction or an alternative placement may be required to meet the needs of the individual student.
