Having my masters in Special Education has influenced the way I teach all of my students greatly. Myself as well as the other 8th grade team members work extremely hard to meet the diverse needs of all of our students in correspondence with the students IEP. I made every effort to make this webpage IDEA compliant. IDEA was originally enacted by Congress in 1975 to ensure that children with disabilities have the opportunity to receive a free appropriate public education, just like other children. The law has been revised many times over the years with the idea of making education for special education students the best it can be. If there is anything that we can do to better serve the needs or your child please do not hesitate to let us know.
