PARENT / TEACHER / STUDENT CONFERENCES
Parent/Teacher/Student conferences will be held after the November reporting periods and before the April reporting period.

Teachers, parents, and students are encouraged to request P/T/S conferences at any other time in order to discuss any aspect of student progress.

Career Counseling is provided within the classroom and individually to DS students.

SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM
The Special Education program assists all students to achieve their best in all subject areas. Parent and student input is important as the school assigns placements for individual students. The special education teacher may work with the student in the classroom or in a pull-out program designed to meet the individual needs of that student and the special education teacher will contact parents so that individual program plans can be developed at the beginning of the school year. The special education program also may assess students to determine needs and develop effective programming. Providing strategies for the student to use in the classroom is an integral part of the teaching-learning process.
