Welcome to the Special
Education Department
Ms. Carryl Cole Assistant Principal
Our Transitional Linkage Coordinators provide career oriented
experiences for all school leavers. We also provide parent
workshops for orientation purposes
.
The SBST provides evaluations in a timely fashion.
Related Service Providers provide guidance via programmatic
counseling: Speech, vision, hearing, counseling, O.T. and P.T.
Adaptive Physical Education is offered to students with special
medical conditions.
A concurrent culinary program with Richmond Hill High School.
Resource Room Program
The Resource Room Program offers remedial instruction and
support to students who are otherwise mainstreamed.
The Resource Room teacher provides assistance in academic skills
and supplies, compensatory strategies that will assist students to
circumvent their disabilities.
Progress is monitored on an ongoing basis. Resource Room
services are usually offered one period a day within small groups.
The amount of service is determined by CSE recommendation.
Special Education Classes
This program provides special education instruction to students in
the major curricular areas of Science, Social Studies, Mathematics,
and English.
While great emphasis is placed on remediation and mastery, the
basic skills, the course content of each credit bearing special
education class is equivalent to courses in regular educational
program and in no way precludes a student from receiving a high
school diploma.
