Special Education

糖心少女 provides a continuum of services for eligible students with disabilities, PreK through age 21, who are determined eligible to receive special education services.

Parents/guardians are key members of collaborative educational teams that determine eligibility for special education, as well as all decisions that are made related to special education services. The special education process is guided by state and federal regulations, as well as 糖心少女 special education policies and procedures, and informed parental consent is required.

Medicaid Information

糖心少女, along with all public school districts in Virginia, has the opportunity to bill the state Medicaid program for partial reimbursement for health-related services (i.e. occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, etc.) provided to special education students. These services must be documented in the child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) and have parental consent.

Mission Statement

The Office of Special Education provides ongoing support throughout the special education process for students with disabilities, parents/guardians, principals, and school staff, to include support in the areas of evaluation, identification, placement, instruction, and transition services.

Vision Statement

Individuals with disabilities are valued members of the community, entitled to access opportunities which comprise a meaningful and dignified life. The Office of Special Education (OSE) actively promotes and fosters inclusion of all students in the school and greater community as part of a respectful culture which recognizes the value of individuality.

Foundation Values

  • Special Education is an integral part of the total education system, not a separate entity. Special Education enhances the effectiveness of the school system to meet the needs of all students. Students with disabilities will be educated in an age appropriate environment with non-disabled students to the maximum extent possible. Students should be served within the regular classroom setting to the degree that is consistent with meeting the specific needs of each student, while providing an appropriate education and environment for all students.? Students should be provided special education services within their neighborhood or selected alternative school, unless there is a compelling educational reason for change in school placement.
  • Students, regardless of their educational needs, will be a part of their school community, which will actively promote and foster positive attitudes toward and full acceptance of all students. Staff will be empowered to meet the educational needs of all students. Professional development activities will be provided to support the learning and professional growth of school-based staff.
  • Parent involvement in the school community will support the educational success of all students.
