Poly Special Education 2022-2023 at a glance

The Special Education Program at Poly High School is grounded in the belief that all students can learn. A specific program is designed for every student with a disability, and a particular disability category does not automatically qualify a student for a program placement. We strive to increase rigor and build capacity and confidence of students as they progress through grades. All students have access to all academic programs, athletics, and activities. Our services and programs have been designed to meet a variety of students’ educational and social-emotional needs.
