Special Services
The Special Services department strives to make this vision a reality for our students with special needs every day. We have wonderful staff members and programs for students at multiple levels.
In order to truly change the lives of students, one must be committed. The goal of our district is to seek and retain committed staff who, in partnership with parents and guardians, will make decisions that are in the best interest of the child. Our goal is to challenge our students to meet the ever-increasing demands of accountability and successfully transitions them back to the general population when feasible. We do not want our students to be ill-prepared upon graduation. With the support of our community, parents, and staff members, we will have success stories for all students.
Whether your child is entering our program or transitioning out of the program, we want you to be involved in the decision making. Without partnerships, we cannot fully achieve the district's vision. Our students, teachers, and schools need your continued support to make each day a life changing experience!
