The mission of JESSE is to provide an appropriate educational program and learning environment which will effectively:

  • Meet the educational needs of its students;
  • Help its students accomplish educational goals which are significant, durable, and transferable.


We believe the purpose of our special education program is to recognize each child as a unique individual, coming to us with varying aspirations, abilities, interests, and needs. We respect the rights, privileges, and differences of each child and try to provide the finest possible education for each of them.


We attempt to provide our children with opportunities to develop socially, intellectually, emotionally and physically in addition to developing basic learning skill.


We believe that this cooperative working effectively and continuously with the local School Corporation, the home, and the community, is entrusted with the responsibility for the growth of every child it serves. Together we must work to develop in each child to the extent possible a personal feeling of well being and self worth.
