Students whose educational needs require close attention and a smaller student-to-teacher ratio for academic, social and emotional support are placed in self­-contained Special Day Classes. Students spend the majority of their day with one core teacher. These students may be considered for a certificate of completion if the Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) Team determines that earning a diploma is not realistic.
