Hello!
As many of you know, the names of Special Education classrooms have been directed by the State Department of Education to make sure our special education programs and classrooms do not have the language of "levels" or 'special education" in the titles. As a result of teacher and adminstrative feedback please note the following:
All special education programs/classrooms will be known as "Student Support Services". The classrooms that were previously Level 1 programs will have that new title. Classrooms that have the focus of behavior, autism, functional academic, or functional life skills will also use the same name. As we have conversations with families and other staff we know what classroom has what type of focus and certainly can use the previous language in our conversations.
This new language, "Student Support Services" will be used in student handbooks, classroom names, websites, and anything that goes out in print.
