Specialized Student Services
Welcome to our Specialized Student Services Department. We believe that every student’s educational journey is unique. From our earliest learners in the Preschool Program to those requiring specialized Special Education or Section 504 accommodations, we are dedicated to removing barriers to success. By also fostering high-potential growth through our Gifted and Talented services, we ensure that every student has the tools, support, and enrichment they need to thrive. We are dedicated to supporting the social, emotional, and mental health needs of our students through the provision of Mental Health services.
