PRIMARY SERVICES

Learning Support Services for students whose primary need is for help in academic areas.  Services are delivered in a curriculum-orientated format in grades K-12.  Students receive support in areas appropriate to their needs.

Emotional Support Services serve students whose social, emotional and behavioral needs interfere with learning.  Students are assisted with problem solving, interpersonal relationships, inappropriate behaviors and related academic difficulties.

Low Incidence and Significant Disabilities may be served in a variety of settings ranging from regular education through referral to state approved out-of-district programs.  Out-of-district programs are designed to meet the student's degree of need whether educational, emotional or physical, that require a more intensive and restrictive program.
