Special Education

We provide a full continuum of special education services from preschool through 12th grade for eligible students, in general education and special education classrooms.

Special Education Programs put students first by meeting the needs of individual students in the least restrictive environment, adjusting services and teaching strategies as students’ needs change, providing creative, diverse, and quality instructional support in a variety of settings and styles, and involving parents and guardians as a central aspect of students’ success.
