Overview

Information contained on these pages is similar to those included in the printed Start-Up Packets of previous years. Please take the time to review these items as they will help answer many of the questions that you may have regarding the beginning of the school year. Links on the left will assist you in navigating this site. There are also items on these pages that will need to be completed as part of District-Wide Special Education Compliance. Please see “Compliance Memo to Principals” for more detailed information.

We hope that the use of this Special Education Web Site will help us better facilitate communication, not only for the start up of the year but also throughout the year. Please feel free to provide us with your input by clicking on the “Comments” link below.


Have a great “Start Up” and a fantastic year!
