Principal's Message

Welcome to the 2019- 2020 school year.  We are pleased that you have taken the time to visit the Dean Triggs School website.   We provide a comprehensive education for students with disabilities from Kindergarten to 5th grade. We work closely with our local school districts to ensure students get a quality education that is individualized to their needs. Our hope is that you find our website to be user-friendly, and after your visit, you will have a good idea of all we have to offer.

Our school is a wonderful place for students from diverse backgrounds to grow physically, educationally, and socially. We believe that every child can grow and achieve their maximum level of independence. Through professional collaboration, the staff uses research based educational practices to address the unique learning needs of all students.  We communicate with parents and care providers to enhance the home learning environment and to promote generalization of our students’ learning. 

We strive to create an environment where each and every student is given the support and tools necessary to achieve individual success. All of this is made possible by strong partnerships that are developed with our parents, local school districts, and community agencies.

If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at 805 496 2488.
