                             Every year is a new and exciting challenge!!    

I believe that in cooperation with parents and the community we can identify students with special needs and can make accommodations to meet those needs by modifying the instructional program.  This philosophy will allow that all students with disabilities can access and benefit from a free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment. I believe our staff will provide opportunities for students with special needs to maximize their potential to demonstrate skills, knowledge and attitudes by preparing them for achieving personal success in an ever changing society.  By providing our students the skills and resources to become lifelong learners, we can prepare them for a world that will embrace their uniqueness, dignity and worth.   

                             Mission Statement 

The Mission of Trenton Public School’s Special Education Department is to maximize the potential of students with special needs through individualized learning experiences and opportunities which will prepare them to participate as fully as possible in our schools and community.
