Note:  Support Instruction is designed to support the special needs student in his/her core content area classes.  However, instruction in the content areas will not be given by the support instruction teacher.  If a student is having difficulty in a specific class, the student must take the responsibility to seek extra help from that content area teacher or a tutor from the National Honor Society.  The support instruction teacher will help arrange a time that is convenient for extra help. There is an after school program available in room 436 on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday every week. Students can take the late bus home.  Bi-monthly communications have been set up to keep parents/guardians aware of their son/daughter's progress (see update link).
