Elementary Campus

The Special Education department at the Elementary Campus serves students from grades K to 5, offering personalized services to support both academic progress and personal growth. Our team is committed to providing a free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment for all eligible students. 

To access special education services, students must complete an evaluation process and meet eligibility criteria for a specific disability category as outlined by the Minnesota Department of Education. Their disability must also significantly impact educational performance, requiring specialized instruction. A student may have a medical diagnosis but not qualify for services if there is no educational need. Conversely, a student could qualify for special education based on an educational diagnosis even without a formal medical diagnosis. 

At the secondary level, we work closely with families, students, and staff to develop supportive, personalized plans that prepare students for success both in school and beyond.
