Academic Support

At Bridges|MS 915, parents and teachers work together to assess individual situations, decide if it is necessary to provide additional support during the school day, and create a support plan as soon as possible. Bridges provides a continuum of services for students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). Services currently provided by the school include Self-Contained classes, Integrated Co-teaching (at least one class per grade), Special Education Teacher Support Services, counseling, speech and language therapy, and occupational therapy. Bridges also hosts a District 75 Inclusion Program of the Coy Cox School. Services are provided as outlined in students’ IEPs.
