The HOTS program is provided to a group of 5th grade students to increase their higher order thinking skills. Special Education Currently Guy E. Rowe Elementary has about 112 students that qualify for special education services. Nine teachers and several educational technicians provide these services. The services vary from receiving support for their learning in regular classrooms to pullout services. Currently 79 students require medication at various times throughout the day for various conditions such as asthma, attention deficit disorder, seizures, or for temporary illnesses such as ear infections, colds, and migraines.
All medication is handled through the nurse in the clinic.
Students are formally screened and identified in the fall of the 4th grade year. About 10 students meet with the teacher in an advanced math program. Parent volunteers and part-time staff members also work with these students on special enrichment activities.
