Special Educators work with general educators to provide appropriate services to students with special learning needs in the least restrictive environment. Approximately 14,000 students, 10 percent of the total student body, currently receive special education services. If you believe your child may have learning needs that require special education services, contact your child's teacher or other school staff. A multidisciplinary IEP (Individual Education Program) team, with the parent as a member, will determine whether special education services are needed.

The mission of Prince George's County Public Schools is to ensure that all students acquire knowledge and develop skills and understandings that will enable them to become productive citizens and lifelong learners in a technological, diverse society.
This mission is accomplished by identifying and nurturing strong instructional leadership; establishing high expectations for all students, parents, teachers, staff, and administrators; implementing a rigorous, technology-infused curriculum; emphasizing effective learning strategies for students at all performance levels; maintaining a safe and orderly school environment; monitoring students’ progress, resulting in appropriate adjustments to instructional programs; developing high levels of accountability; and cultivating meaningful family and community involvement.
