Special Education

As members of the PVRS community, the Special Education Department is committed to fostering respect, responsibility, and academic excellence. By providing equal opportunities and multiple approaches to success in a heterogeneous setting, we help students become critical and creative thinkers and encourage individuals to become contributing members of a diverse global society. 

Special Education Services

The Special Education Department offers several different types of services based upon a student's individual needs as stated in their Individualized Educational Plan (I.E.P.).
