Welcome to Special Education at Heritage Elementary

At Heritage Elementary, we believe that every child is unique and possesses a distinct set of strengths and abilities. Our Special Education program is designed to meet the diverse needs of students with exceptionalities, ensuring they receive the support, resources, and opportunities necessary to thrive both academically and personally. We believe that every student deserves the opportunity to succeed. Our Special Education program is built on a foundation of inclusivity, individualization, collaboration, empowerment, and respect. We are here to support our students on their educational journey, helping them to overcome challenges, celebrate successes, and achieve their dreams.

We strive to create an environment where all students, regardless of their abilities, are welcomed, valued, and respected. We are committed to providing equitable access to education, ensuring that every student has the chance to succeed. 

We recognize that each student has their own unique learning style, strengths, and challenges. Our approach to special education is rooted in the belief that education should be tailored to meet individual needs. Through Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), we work closely with students, families, and educators to create customized learning plans that support academic, social, and emotional growth.

Collaboration is at the heart of our philosophy. We believe in the power of partnerships between educators, families, and specialists to support the whole child. We work together to set goals, monitor progress, and adjust strategies to ensure that each student’s educational experience is positive and effective. We value the input of families as essential partners in their child’s education and encourage open communication and active involvement.

Our goal is to empower students with the skills and confidence they need to navigate the world independently. We focus on building self-advocacy, problem-solving, and life skills, preparing students for success beyond the classroom. We believe that every student has the potential to lead a fulfilling and independent life, and we are dedicated to helping them reach their fullest potential.

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education. Together, we can create a brighter future for all students.
