BCSS - RE-ENTRY PLAN

The VISIONS EMERSON PROGRAM educates students with multiple disabilities in grades seven through twelve. Students work in a supportive yet challenging environment designed to maximize educational opportunities within a traditional high school setting while providing extra supports and services.

The program offers inclusion/mainstreaming opportunities based upon each student's abilities, interests, and grade level. Related services--- physical therapy, speech, nursing, occupational therapy and counseling are available. Transition services are an integral part of the program and include Community Based Instruction, Life Skills, Career Ed classes, Guidance Counselor, Job Coach and Internships.

VISIONS utilizes a number of strategies and assistive technologies to bring high-interest learning and activities to its students. VISIONS staff members believe that in this safe environment, the greater the expectations, the greater the achievements!

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year!

We are excited to begin another year filled with meaningful opportunities that support our students' social, emotional, and academic growth.

The Visions Emerson Program, housed within Emerson Junior/Senior High School, is designed to provide students in grades 7–12 with a traditional middle and high school experience, while also offering individualized academic support and IEP-driven related services. Our unique setting allows students access to a variety of enriching opportunities, including mainstream classes, technology-based academic tools, internships, and post-secondary planning resources.

At Visions Emerson, we are committed to equipping our students with the skills and confidence they need to thrive beyond high school. Our dedicated staff collaborates closely with students, families, and local districts to ensure that transition goals are carefully planned and successfully achieved. The continued accomplishments of our Visions Emerson alumni speak to the strength and impact of our program.

We look forward to another successful year as we remain dedicated to meeting the diverse needs of all our students.
