Programs

Gifted and Talented Program

This will be the first year that we will have a gifted and talented program for our students.  The gifted and talented coordinator will work with teachers and parents to assess if students qualify for this program and then work with the school staff and administration to create learning experiences for our G/T Students.

Special Education Programs

Special Education services and related services are available to any student who has been identified as a person with a handicapping condition by a Pupil Evaluation Team (P.E.T.).  Individualized Education Plans (I.E.P.’s) are developed to address the student's individual educational needs.  Other support services such as speech therapy, occupational/physical therapies, counseling, and services for students with vision and hearing impairments are also available for these identified students.

Title 1

Title 1 services are educational services beyond the regular classroom instruction in the areas of math and reading. This program supplements the regular program and is available to those who qualify under Title I guidelines.

504 Plans

There are some students that do not qualify for special education services, yet have a physical or developmental disability that falls under federal legislation for a 504 plan. School administration will follow up and work with parents to set up and implement these plans if a student has a qualifying condition.

Student Assistance Team (SAT)

The Dr. Lewis S. Libby School has a student assistance team that accepts referrals from parents, staff, and/or students.  The purpose of this team is to review referrals in a confidential manner and suggest interventions for students who appear to be at risk of experiencing school or social failure.  Team referral materials and information may be obtained at the guidance office.
