Welcome to the ACES Special Education Page!

Who are we?  Becky Bell and Carol Williams. Becky is the special education teacher. Carol is a special education classroom paraprofessional. 

Who do we teach? We teach any student within the whole school that qualifies for Special Education services. This ranges from Homebound, Self-Contained, to Pull-Out instruction. 

What do we teach? We teach each student on his or her level. What exactly we teach and on what level is dependent on each student's IEP. We teach these skills in small group or 1:1 settings. 

We also get the opportunity to walk you, the parents and students through the IEP process.  

Virtual Learning

Thank you for hanging in there with us! Honestly, we both probably want school to be back in session just as much. It breaks my heart that for these two weeks I only get to interact with your kiddo via Virutal Learning and do not get to sit next to them and guide them through new material. 

That being said: As you are aware from the conversation you had from Mrs. Lesh and Mrs. Bell on Monday, March 23, we will be using MobyMax to deliver Virtual Instruction to your student. You will also be receiving a letter in the mail that explains these procedures. 

Every morning before 9:30 a.m. your student will have a new MobyMax assignment in ELA or Math assigned. These assignments should populate in the "Assignment" tab on your student's MobyMax. 

This video will show you how your student's MobyMax will look once an assignment is assigned.
