The Special Education Team at Eastern Heights continues to build collaborative instruction and support for each student with special needs within this building.  Our team is committed to developing as a professional learning community, as a multidisciplinary team and alongside our general education colleagues. We are excited to have a strong co-teaching collaboration throughout the building.

Within the mission of our school to "Educate for a Better Tomorrow" and to meet the individual needs of each student in our building with equity; our team actively engages with each aspect of our students' day in planning, communicating and implementing goals and objectives in special and general education settings in our learning community.
