Supporting Every Student. Partnering with Every Family. Empowering Every Future.
At Canutillo Independent School District, the Department of Special Programs & Services is committed to ensuring every student has access to the instruction, supports, and services needed to achieve success in school and beyond.
We believe that every student has unique strengths, abilities, and potential. Through collaboration with families, educators, and community partners, we provide comprehensive services that promote academic achievement, independence, and meaningful participation in school.
Whether you are seeking information about Special Education, Section 504, Dyslexia, MTSS, Transition Services, or Child Find, our department is here to support you every step of the way.
Our Programs
Our department provides a continuum of services designed to meet the diverse needs of students.
Partnering with Families
Families are valued partners in every stage of the educational process. We encourage parents and guardians to collaborate with campus staff, participate in meetings, ask questions, and remain actively involved in their child’s educational journey.
Our goal is to build strong partnerships that support student growth and success.
Contact Your Campus
Many services begin at the campus level. Each Canutillo ISD campus has designated staff members who support students through MTSS, Section 504, Dyslexia, and Special Education processes.
If you have questions about your child or would like more information about available supports, please contact your child’s campus. Campus staff can assist you or connect you with the appropriate district personnel.
