EVERY STUDENT. EVERY OPPORTUNITY.

At Rogers Public Schools, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. Our Special Services Department partners with families, educators, and community agencies to provide individualized supports that help students with disabilities reach their full potential.

In accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), eligible students receive a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) through individualized educational programs designed to meet their unique needs.

Our team is committed to building meaningful relationships, providing high-quality services, and supporting students from early childhood through graduation.
