What is Special Education?
Our Special Education Teachers are certified educators who teach students who have IEP's (Individual Education Plans) and who have been identified as needing specialized instruction according to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act IDEA and free appropriate public education FAPE. If you have questions about your specific IEP or services that your child is receiving, please contact their service provider directly.
What does Special Education look like during virtual learning?
Students with an IEP will receive minute for minute specialized instruction according to their IEP's in both the virtual environment and upon return to campus. Students who normally receive support within a general education environment (team taught classes) will have support from their gen-ed and special ed teachers using Zoom meetings. Students who receive instruction in a special education classroom will have "breakout" meetings with their special education teachers on Zoom during their classes, following general education instruction. All course information can be found on Canvas.
How do I know who my service coordinator is?
Service Coordinators will be contacting students in the days before school and throughout the school year.
Where can I go to get more information?
Students and parents should continue to check their email and canva's pages for updated information. Grade information can be accessed via Powerschools. Please email your service coordinator directly for all IEP related questions.
