Transition Program
The district’s transition program offers structured services that help students build essential skills for life after high school. Through experiences in areas such as social communication, employment readiness, community access, independent living, and functional academics, students are prepared for meaningful adult lives.
Each plan is tailored to the student’s individual strengths, preferences, needs, and goals. Students are supported in developing self-advocacy skills and exploring postsecondary education, employment, and adult living options.
Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition to adult services and community opportunities. We achieve this by coordinating services and collaborating with agencies to connect students with resources that support their vision for a fulfilling future.
