Special Education

Our goal is to empower every student with diverse learning needs to reach their full potential by providing specially designed instruction, fostering an inclusive environment, promoting growth, independence, and success in both academic and life skills.

All eligible students are entitled to special education and related services through the age of 22.   Student's with disabilities may receive related services as part of their individual education programs (IEPs). D94 West Chicago Community High School will maintain related service logs that record the type and number of minutes of the related service(s) administered to such students. Copies of any related service logs will be available to parents/guardians at their child’s annual review IEP meeting. Parents/guardians of students with disabilities may also request copies of their child’s related service logs at any time.
