Special Education Department
Under the umbrella of Student Support Services, our special education staff strive to make student-centered decisions in the least restrictive setting. Our goal is to maximize student growth and foster academic and social success in accordance with the team vision. We strive to make student-centered decisions, that are transparent and collaborative; our goal is to partner with families and caregivers through the IEP process to maximize academic performance, social and emotional well-being, and independent skills. Above all, we strive to promote a safe and positive learning environment that nurtures individual growth.
