Pupil Services

A full range of services is available to students in need of special education and other special
support programs. The Programs provide either direct instruction to students or supportive
services to assist students to reach their potential. Teachers are provided assistance through
these programs as a resource to assist them as they teach students with special needs and
abilities. Special Education and Pupil Services programs include:

services. A coordinated team of teachers, guidance counselors, health educators, school nurses,

community agencies to effectively contribute to the development of the student. The team
approach ensures that the professional talents of the staff will be coordinated to provide
