ESS Dept Mission Statement/Goals

The mission of the Special Education Program is to individualize the instruction and support of special education students based on specific identified needs in order for them to achieve at their highest level.

BELIEF STATEMENTS

We believe...

The focus of special education instruction is to create individualized education plans that drive our services

Inclusion is a philosophy where all students are members of the general education classroom as a community

A spectrum of services offered both within and outside of the general education classroom will help bridge the learning gaps for special education students

Behavioral, emotional, and social learning are critical components for students with deficits in these areas
