Meeting Individual Needs

Special Education programs are available to qualified students through the Butler County Special Education Cooperative. Staff members are readily available for students with special needs including: early childhood, learning disabilities, behavior disorders, gifted education, speech, language, occupational and physical therapy. 

Title I teachers and aides work at each qualifying school providing extra help for students in reading and math. These professionals work with first, second and third graders. Summer school programs in remedial reading and math are also held each summer for elementary students.

Circle District works with the Project Encore - www.getmydiploma.org - located in Andover and El Dorado to offer tutoring and remedial course work for high school students. Through Encore, high school students can also attend summer school to make up credits in required classes. All students using these services must be referred by the high school administration. 

Counselors are available in all schools in the district. Counselors work with individuals, small groups and in classroom settings providing a full support program and career education program.  Students K-12 can also receive individualized lessons in math and reading using various software programs.  

Progress reports are mailed and/or given to all parents of students who are doing below average work during the fifth week of each nine weeks. Student progress reports may be requested by parents at any time. Circle High School and Circle Middle School parents may use “PowerSchool”, an internet program to access their students’ grades. Parents are urged to follow up on all reports received. Circle High School and Circle Middle School parents will receive a registration packet for using “PowerSchool” during enrollment.
