Mission Statement

It is the mission of the Bogota Department of Special Services to provide students with a caring and respectful environment that fosters the development of learning skills, knowledge, independence, responsibility and “self-understanding”. The Department of Special Services is not an independent department but an integral part of Bixby, Steen and Bogota Middle/High School. It is our goal to work with teachers, parents and administrators in a collaborative effort that will support programs and services to all students. It is the belief of the Department of Special Services that each student has the ability to reach their maximum potential and become independent life-long learners.
