Roaring Scholars Mission (Special Education)

The Special Education Department adheres to the philosophy that each individual student  is entitled to the support necessary to maximize his/her potential and gifts. The Special Education staff, in conjunction with classroom teachers and other educational personnel, have a commitment to the following objectives:

• To create a positive climate for learning- focusing on a child’s ability and growth in an educational setting.

• To facilitate each student’s academic progress and social development by establishing appropriate goals and providing instruction.

• To support and act as a resource for classroom teachers working with students with special needs.

• To encourage students to identify and use their strengths- promoting student advocacy, so students can become advocates for their life and learning.
