The Lake and Peninsula School District Special Education team is committed to seeing all students within the District succeed in their educational pursuits. The team aims to meet this goal by working with teachers, aides, parents, and students to facilitate the individual child’s ability to achieve.
The District’s Special Education team is led by the LPSD Special Education Director and carried out by on-site special education teachers and paraprofessionals under the oversight of the school principal.
Services
Special Education services are provided in the Lake and Peninsula School District at no cost to the parent/guardian of those students who qualify as having a disability that impacts their ability to achieve academically. Students who are identified by their teachers, parents, or other concerned adults as having possible academic issues can be referred to special education for possible screening, assessment, or to begin the intervention process.
If you have questions about your child, or would like general information about services that could be provided to your child, please contact your local principal, head teacher, or special education teacher.
