Our vision is to maintain a climate that celebrates diversity and the individuality of all children by providing high-quality instruction to meet the needs of each student.  Such instruction will promote the acquisition and use of knowledge and skills, the ability to meet individual needs in order to maintain health and wellness, and the fostering of positive social relationships that enable individuals to contribute to society.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) provides for a free and appropriate education for all students with disabilities between the ages of 3 and 21.  Distict 91 offers a continuum of support services for students with special needs from Early Childhood (3 years old) through 8th grade.
