Mission, Vision and Values

Greendale Schools Special Education programming provides the highest quality in transition support services to students with disabilities, with a focus on developing each student’s skills, understanding of preferences, interests, and developing self-determination and self-advocacy skills necessary for successfully achieving their post-secondary goals. We aim to provide a continuum of transition services to students to develop their skills and help them achieve their highest level of independence. Our vision is to engage and empower students with disabilities to achieve their full potential. It is in influencing four critical connections between students, the school, support systems, and community where our mission will be achieved. In Greendale Schools, we value each student’s unique characteristics, talents, interests, and desires, and the potential in every individual to achieve personal success and overcome any barriers.
