ABOUT THE SCHOOL/DEPARTMENT

Fletcher Miller School is a unique academic environment for students with significant support needs.

Fletcher Miller is a public school on Jeffco's continuum of alternative education placements for special education. All students at Fletcher Miller work toward Extended Evidence Outcomes aligned with the general education curriculum and state standards.

In addition to addressing literacy, communication, math, science and social studies, students experience adaptive physical education, music, art, library and work in the greenhouse. Because of our students' unique and complex significant support needs, intensive physical, occupational, and speech therapy is provided during the school day to support access to education.

School placement at Fletcher Miller is based on identified student needs through the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process. Students participate in a variety of specially designed, district supported activities including adaptive physical education, boy and girl scouts, art shows, bike day, and PBIS.

Our campus staff work in multi-disciplinary teams which include special education teachers, para educators, nurses, speech therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, mental health provider and other itinerant special education staff to address the 'whole child'. To achieve this, we also partner with many community organizations including neighborhood schools, universities and colleges, and community-based organizations.
