| Welcome from the Director of Special Services |
| Welcome to the Menasha Joint School District Special Services Department. Menasha takes pride in its special services department and its ability
to meet the needs of each individual child. The special services team is made up of members from pupil services, special education and health services.
In the area of pupil services, we are fortunate to have social workers, psychologists and guidance counselors assisting in the development of student plans and programs. The social workers and psychologists interact with regular educators and special educators to ensure a quality program for each individual student. Guidance counselors actively meet the needs of students through developmental guidance lessons, peer mediation, group and individual counseling, academic scheduling, and transition services. Special education programs can facilitate placements for Exceptional Education Needs (EEN) students ranging from self-contained to fully integrated programs. Menasha prides itself in being able to offer an extensive variety of programs as we develop each child's Individualized Education Plan (IEP). As we program for EEN students ages 3-21 we work collaboratively with the child's family and community to ensure a complete program that meets the student's needs. The Early Childhood programs are housed at Banta Early Learning Center with the four year old kindergarten program and provide students the opportunity to learn in natural settings while being supported by special education staff. Menasha elementary, middle school and high school programs offer services for all disability areas. The individual building teams work to assist students and families through the IEP process to ensure that the student's needs are met in a least restrictive environment. Our health services are provided by the City of Menasha's health department. The nurses provide nursing services to the schools. They are at the schools on a regular basis and are involved in immunization programs, vision and hearing screening, disease control, family consultation and IEP meetings. If you would like further information about the Special Services Department please contact Marci Thiry, Director of Special Services. |
