Helpful resources
The Wheat Ridge High School website is a great resource for events that are going on at School! Our schedule can sometimes be different than other schools in the district so make sure you pay attention to that! There are also fun events that happen at school that are great ways to get involved in the community! https://wheatridge.jeffcopublicschools.org/
Here is the link to Jefferson County Schools. This has great information about the district and how Special Education works in Jeffco.
DDRC is a great organization that helps with life after high school for individuals with disabilities. They often have events throughout the year that talk about their different services. I have been to a few and they are very helpful, I highly recommend attending them!
