Welcome to the DEAR Program!
Dickinson Education, Acceleration, Recovery Program (DEAR) is for students who have mild or moderate learning, health or emotional disabilities who are at risk of dropping out, or not graduating on time, or for whom the traditional school day is not appropriate. DEAR is designed for students who must meet credit graduation requirements where tailored instruction is provided to students. It is a self-contained environment taught by a special education teacher. Students work on individualized plans designed to address any transcript deficiencies.
