w/Heritage.

Special Education Services
At all of our high schools, a large continuum of services is available to meet the needs of students who qualify for special
education services. While the most impacted students (who require significant infrastructure supports like showers, time-out
rooms, etc.) may be recommended to attend Marysville Pilchuck High School, most other students can be served at the other high
schools as well. When possible and reasonable for the student, the student will be served at his/her school of choice.
Our mission is to assist all students with disabilities to benefit from their educational program, alongside their non-disabled
peers to the greatest extent appropriate. What we teach is applicable to the student's ability to successfully function in his/
her environment as prescribed by the Individualized Education Plan (IEP). We focus upon the intent of the district's mission by
Engaging our community, Inspiring our students, and Preparing our graduates, assisting each student to achieve his/her potential
independence in his/her post school environment.
Resource Program
All of our high schools have Resource Programs, which provide
educational services to students with mild to moderate
disabilities. The program is designed to provide individual,
small group instruction to students who require specially
designed instruction in specific goal areas as determined by the
evaluation team. Students receive supplemental, or adaptive
replacement individualized instruction, consistent with the
student’s assessed needs and IEP goals. Most students receive
their core education via the general education classroom
teacher. Some student’s specially designed instruction can
be fully implemented in general education settings. This may
be achieved via general education differentiation or push-in
services. Some students need pull out instruction for some
of their day, up to the majority of their day, as determined by
the IEP team. Given the moderate nature of some student’s
disabilities, significant daily guidance and regular and sporadic
access to a separate setting is needed.
Developmental Learning Program

Developmental Learning Programs, limited to our
comprehensive high school campuses, provide educational
services to students with moderate to profound developmental
disabilities. Students are enrolled based on the IEP team
recommendation for placement. Students may have significant
behaviors, related to cognitive and communication delays.
The program is designed to provide individual, small group
instruction to students who require the highest levels of
support and specially designed instruction in specific goal
areas as determined by the evaluation team. The classroom
provides smaller class size and additional adult support.
Opportunities for inclusion are available and determined in
light of the unique needs and interests of the student. Specially
designed instruction is focused in areas such as functional
academics, adaptive skills, motor skills, communication,
independent daily living skills; and as students near 18-21,
include vocational education and community-based learning
opportunities. Strong emphasis is given to partnership with
parents, local resources, and community.

English Language Learners
This program is designed for English Language Learners.
Sheltered instruction is an approach for teaching grade-level content to English learners in strategic ways that make the subject
matter concepts comprehensible while promoting the students’ English Language development.
In the sheltered English classroom, teachers use physical activities, visual aids, and the environment to teach important new words
for concept development in mathematics, science, history, economics, and other subjects.
English Language Learners remain in the mainstream classroom and receive ELL support services in their ELL/ELA class instructed
by an ELA/ELL certified teacher.

MATHEMATICS
The Marysville School District’s Mathematics courses are offered in a sequential order from Algebra I through AP Calculus. The
Program builds on fundamental mathematics concepts and essential skills. Studetns learn to critically think, effectively problem
solve, and clearly communicate. Students experience the interaction of algebra, geometry, statistics, probability, and discrete
mathematics as well as develop an understaning of the fundamental mathematical concepts of function, relation, invariance, and
transformations. Technology is fully incorporated throughout ALL courses, with emphasis on applications of mathematics and
mathematical models.
