COVID19 update

During the COVID19 Continuous Learning model, special services will be provided differently.    For special education, your student's case manager will be coordinating support.   

Preschool - Rebekah McGaughey

Elementary School - Kerry Salaz

Middle School  - Crista Landworth  (Jenny Mortenson is providing substitute support at least for December 2020.)

High School - Linda Sovie

Communication (Speech and Language Services) - Ellen Benetti

Occupational Therapy is provided by Kasey McKnight.   Although she does not have an independent caseload you can contact her via her email.

Jen Moyer, our school psychologist, is conducting evaluations again this year.

If you need help contacting your student's case manager or other special education staff, please contact Andy Wheeler through the email link, or call or text (360)746-5383.

The term "Special Services" is not specifically defined across the state.   In our district, being so small, Special Services comprises most aspects of learning that are not extracurricular (like athletics, clubs, after school program) or regular education (like you would find in most classes.) 

These Programs are offered through the Special Services Department:

• Special Education
• Title I
• Learning Assistance Program
• Transitional Bilingual Program
• Preschool
• Birth to Age 3
• Homeless Youth
• Highly Capable
• Youth in Foster Care
• Title III
• Title VI (Indian Education)
• McKinney Vento  (for homeless students)
