Welcome to the Office of Student Services. Our goal is to provide individualized services to meet the needs of all students. We accomplish this through the Individual Education Plan (IEP) program and Section 504 of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Students receive support from licensed intervention specialists, speech pathologists, occupational thrapists, physical therapists, and others. 

All students learn and grow at different rates. We analyze each student's progress over time to determine if special services may be needed. We strive to educate students in their least restrictive environment, and for most students, that is in the general education classroom. As students need additional and more intense support, the team considers placement in specialized units, behavioral schools, and others. 

A strong school/family partnership is essential for student success. We are excited to work with you and your child to help them reach their full potential. Thank you for entrusting us with your children and please contact us if you have any questions. 

Sincerely,

Stephen M. Fowler, M. Ed. 

Director of Student Services
