Student Resource Services
Mission
At HHS, our Special Education Team’s mission is to provide support services for scholars who have been identified as having one or more of the disabilities referenced in state and federal law per their Individual Education Programs. We are committed to providing scholars with tools and strategies that will equip them for success in high school and beyond.
Important Terms
Article 7: Indiana’s special education regulations that are found in the Indiana Administrative Code (IAC) at 511 IAC 7-32 through 7-47.
Individualized Education Plan (IEP): a written document that is developed, reviewed, and revised by the CCC describing how the scholar will access the general education curriculum (if appropriate) and the special education and related services to be provided.
Teacher of Record (TOR): once a student is evaluated and determined eligible for services under Article 7, the student will be assigned a Teacher of Record. The “Teacher of Record” refers to the single special education teacher to whom a student with a disability is assigned.
Resource Seminar
Most of the students who have IEPs will be enrolled in a resource seminar. These seminars are supervised study periods that provide time for scholars to study, complete independent practice work, and/or remediate mastery assessments. The behavioral expectations for the seminars are the same as any other academic environment across campuses.
