In Special Education, we address the individual needs of the student. An Individual Education Plan, IEP, is designed by staff and the student's parents yearly. The students assigned to this class room caseload are in the intermediate grades 4th and 5th. They are orthopedically, medically, and often cognitively involved. In the classroom, we have support from a nurse, physical therapist, occupational therapist, vision teacher, teacher of the deaf, special education teacher, paraprofessional assistant and handicapped children's aid.
Most students meet their educational needs in our self-contained classroom.
The education curriculum is planned around cognitive levels, self help, fine and gross motor activities. All our students are know by the regular education population. Students, who are able, eat lunch in the cafeteria, and attend school programs. Weekly the 4th grade students go to Art, and Physical Education Classes as assistance. 4th and 5th grade students help us in school, on the playground, and with bussing.
