DEPARTMENT OF STUDENT SUCCESS (DSS)

The Department of Student Success (DSS) supports students with Individual Education Plans (IEP’s). Columbine HS utilizes a fully inclusive model for delivery of instruction. Students with IEP’s may receive support from a Learning Specialist in 9th, 10th or 11th grade Language Arts, Algebra I or Geometry. In addition, students requiring more intensive support may be placed in an Extended Reading, Extended Algebra or an Extended Geometry class. Extended classes fall under the category of Elective classes. For students who are identified and require additional learning in math foundational skills, there is an alternative pathway to build life skills to support their additional math needs. These classes will be taken in lieu of Algebra I or higher.
