DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE
"Children are like wet cement; anything that falls on them leaves an impression."
The above anonymous quote captures my philosophy of education; the importance of having our students experience a positive and rewarding education I am fortunate to work with all staff, students and their supportive parents. The Office of Special Services oversees West Milford’s special education department, Nursing, Home Instruction and Homeless programs. I am a firm believer that all students can learn; they just may need to learn differently. Our special needs students are offered a continuum of services, as well as research based multi-sensory programs in the least restrictive environment. I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with you for the benefit of our children. SPECIAL SERVICES CORNER: This is the place to learn about our programs, news and upcoming events. Be sure to check back periodically so you are kept informed.
