Welcome to the Special Education Department 

Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year. 

We are excited to be able to provide 100% in-person instruction again and are committed to your child’s safety and success.

Please be sure that you have registered your child at his or her school of attendance.

All district staff are required to be vaccinated and wear a mask indoors and outdoors while on school grounds. Students are also required to wear a mask indoors and outdoors while on school grounds. If your child’s disability prevents them from wearing a mask, please refer to the district’s mask exemption policy for required documentation and safety planning process. Masking Exemption and Accommodations for IEP and 504.

Parents and guardians must comply with the visitor protocols: All visitors must wear masks and provide proof of vaccination or negative test within 72 hours of needing to be on campus. 

Until further notice, IEP meetings will be held virtually.  Parents may request in person meetings. All parents are required to comply with site protocols. 

All student services, other than at the virtual academy, are currently in person.

 The Virtual Independent Study option is designed for students who are able to  independently access core curriculum with appropriate accommodations or modifications. Placement in Virtual Independent Study must be an IEP team decision. The IEP team will work together to carefully review and ensure that this option is designed to meet the learning needs of the student. Factors for consideration will include a student’s instructional access, including; attendance, participation and the ability to make progress toward goals as seen with virtual instruction during the 2020/2021 school year. 

To begin the process for this option, please fill out the brief interest survey.

Home and Hospital Instruction is designed for those students for whom in-person is not an option due to medical needs. Placement in Home and Hospital is through the IEP team. If you believe your child may require Home and Hospital Instruction, please contact your child's program specialist.
