Special Education:

Tyrrell Middle School has an excellent special education staff that help to modify, support, and supplement curriculum for our students with special learning needs.  We have resource room help available at each grade level, team taught classes, and self-contained English/LA and math classes.  Tyrrell is also proud to house the Life Skills class.  Speech and language services and occupational and physical therapies are provided on an as needed basis.

Our talented and gifted students benefit from Project Explore.  Each grade level is engaged in a particular field of study.  Grade 6 students have been learning all about plant life.  They will apply their knowledge of plants in their investigation of plants as sources of fuel.  Grade 7 students have been learning about the newspaper business, while Grade 8 students will be investigating the evolution of communication and contemporary applications in technology.  Project Explore classes supplement the regular curriculum with higher order activities and challenges.
