Special Education

Our motto: Learning for all through learning supports

The special education department is dedicated to the following beliefs:

• All children can learn.
• All individuals deserve to be treated with respect.
• We hold high expectations for student achievement.
• The rights of children with disabilities should be upheld and honored.
• All children will have access to and progress in the general education curriculum.
• Special education is a service, not a place.
• A full continuum of services best supports the needs of children.
• An alignment must be created between a student's individual needs and educational services.
• Performance must be measured systematically.
• The emphasis should be on the child, not on the disability.
• Integrity is essential to trust.
• Communication should be by fact.
• It takes an entire community to support a child.
