In the Bethel School District, we take great pride in providing services that enable all of our children to reach their potential. Through comprehensive child find efforts, we seek out all resident children (and non-residents) attending private school within the district) with potentially disabling conditions. The district special education program currently serves more than 2,500 students. A full continuum of special education services is available to resident students, birth to 21 years.
Our committment to your child
To ensure that we are providing the best care and services to your child, our staff receives ongoing professional development opportunities in curriculum, instruction and assessment. In addition to districtwide training, staff development opportunities are available for special education and related services staff. Training is provided at monthly special education teacher and specialist meetings. Individual staff members attend conferences, workshops and classes. Recent training has included: behavior assessments, behavior intervention plans, de-escalation and restraint training, assistive technology and evaluations, transition services and autism. Literacy has also been a special focus at all grade levels.
