A multidisciplinary team approach is used to determine the needs of exceptional students. Students in Special Education may require adapted curriculum or instructional adjustments in academic, physical or social aspects of their education. The students receive the appropriate support necessary for them to develop to their potentials. This may include elements of education that are both different from and in addition to the standard offerings. Integration into regular classes or curricular offerings is a major goal for the student.
All programs are sequential and continuous.
Special Education is part of, rather than apart from, the total school program. Students who have successfully completed a program of studies designed to meet their individual needs and abilities receive a diploma or a certificate comparable to that of other students of the school who have completed their curricular requirements. Once a year each student is given an achievement test by the Special Education teacher to determine if the student's skills have improved from the previous year. This IEP will be used beginning with the new school year. This page is intended to be a student resource for Special Education related links on the internet.
