Welcome to the BAMS Special Education Department!
The BAMS special education department is looking forward to working with your child during this school year. We are committed to promoting the success of all students, and will be working to live the school motto, “Create your own success story.” As special educators, we will be supporting your child’s needs and implementing the specific goals and accommodations as listed on his/her IEP.
At the beginning of the year, your child’s IEP will be shared with all of his/her general education teachers, including PE and Unified Arts. Working as a team, we can foster a positive middle school experience for your child.
