Student Services

Welcome to the Student Services department for Hudson Public Schools.

Hudson Public Schools is implementing the New IEP this school year.  Soon we will no longer call it the New IEP and just refer to it as the IEP.  In the meantime, the district continues to receive training and provide special education teachers and service providers with plenty of time to confer during professional development times in the school district’s calendar.  Please take the opportunity to view the IEP overview video on this page to understand how the process works prior to your child’s IEP meeting.

As a district, Hudson Public Schools strives to fully educate children who are diagnosed with a disability which impacts their ability to access the general curriculum. In accordance with both state and federal regulations, we provide a variety of services. Our focus and goal is to include students in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). Our special education faculty members, including support staff, are comprised of highly qualified and/or certified professionals.

The special education staff at each school strives to provide an educational environment where our students are supported and challenged to make progress. We believe that a strong partnership with parents/guardians is key to student success. To that end, we view our parents as partners in the educational process, sharing in both advocacy and responsibility. This partnership is necessary to help students achieve their highest potential.
