if your son/daughter is not vaccinated, please complete either the consent or exemption forms for in-school COVID-19 testing



Exemptions
Exemptions will only be granted in certain limited cases:


For students who need a medical exemption, due to a health condition that would make it unsafe to undergo testing (e.g., facial trauma, nasal surgery), use the Student Medical Exemption Form, below. This form must be signed by a physician and you must submit medical documentation from a health care provider.
For students with disabilities who cannot be safely tested in school due to the nature of their disability, use the Student with Disabilities Exemption Form, below.

Overview

We are a high school for students with special needs. We serve students diagnosed with various disabilities including cognitive delays, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), multiple disabilities, and speech and language delays. Our school emphasizes transition into adult life and independence, we therefore maintain partnerships with various community businesses and organizations who help us to provide work experience for our older students.

Vision

​
​We envision a school in which all students, regardless of background, become independent and productive members of our community to the greatest extent possible.
