Integrated Pre-Kindergarten Program (Mary Eschler)
The integrated Pre-K program is a state approved, educationally based special education preschool program (6:1:1) that incorporates developmentally appropriate practices. The Integrated Prekindergarten program is a half-day program operating 2 1/2 hours in both the morning and the afternoon Monday through Friday. It is a prekindergarten program that provides an opportunity for preschool students with disabilities from the community to experience integration and peer modeling with the general education population in a public school setting. The program provides services to children ages 3-5 that have been classified by the Committee on Preschool Special Education as having a disability. The six disabled preschool children are integrated with 6 non-disabled children and are exposed to all curriculum areas, including cognitive, speech/language, fine motor, gross motor, personal-social, and adaptive domains. 

Special Class (Joyce Orapello)
This 12:1:1 primary level special class provides specialized instruction of the general curriculum to children in Grades 1-3 who require a smaller, more structured learning environment than the regular education classroom can provide. This class consists primarily of mixed level functioning disabled students with moderate learning deficits stemming from medical, speech/language, hearing, and/or cognitive processing deficits.

Special Class (Kristin Amadon)
This 12:1:1 intermediate level special class provides specialized instruction of the general ELA and Math curriculum to children in Grades 4-5 who require a smaller, more structured learning environment than the regular education classroom can provide. This class consists primarily of mixed level functioning disabled students with moderate learning deficits stemming from medical, speech/language, hearing, and/or cognitive processing deficits. Students in this class generally participate in the regular education setting the majority of the day, except for ELA and Math.

Self-Contained Special Class (Mary Kovalovich)
This 12:1:1 intermediate level self-contained special class provides academic instruction to children in Grades 4-5 who require a small, structured learning environment. This class consists primarily of lower level functioning students with moderate to severe learning deficits, primarily due to mental retardation or multiple disabilities. A modified curriculum and lifeskills are addressed and strategies implemented for all academic areas.

Special Class (Shannon Wadsworth)
This 12:1:2 self-contained special class provides specialized instruction of the general curriculum to children in Grades 3-5 who require a small, highly structured learning environment with a behavior management component. This class consists primarily of students with emotional and behavioral disorders. 

Resource Room / 12:1 Replacement Classes (Chris Schoonmaker)
The Resource Room program provides supplementary academic instruction of the general curriculum to disabled children in Grades K-5. The purpose is to reteach/reinforce concepts that are taught initially in the regular education classrooms and provide necessary remediation of skill deficits. 

The 12:1 Replacement class provides K-5 primary academic instruction to students for specific classes such as Reading, Writing, and Math as opposed to receiving them in the regular education classroom. This program provides a gap for students who are struggling with one or two particular subjects in the regular education classroom and require small group instruction but who are not appropriate for a full-day, self-contained special class.
