LEARNING SUPPORT SERVICES (LSS): This program combines a staff of professionals that may include general educators, special educators, a speech therapist, a school psychologist, an occupational therapist, a certified occupational therapy assistant and paraprofessional educators to meet the needs of each student who has qualified for an IEP. Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) are developed for all students who have been identified as having an educational disability which impairs their learning ability and/or performance to a marked degree, within the classroom environment. A continuum of services and adaptations to curriculum, instruction and/or environment are based on student needs and the IEP and are provided to each identified student.
Penny Watson
Subject: Speech Pathologist
Education: Bachelor of Education with an emphasis in Communication Disorders from Hardin Simmons University, Abilene, Texas; Master of Science in Communication Disorders from Murray State University, Murray, Kentucky.
Bio: Hello, my name is Penny Watson (Ms. Penny for the students). I was born in Mayfield, Kentucky and resided there until I attended college in Abilene, Texas where I received my Bachelor’s degree. I then returned to Kentucky and worked as a speech-language pathologist (SLP) in rehabilitation for several years before taking a job with the local school district. In 2012 my family (my husband and 2 children) moved to Colorado and I have been working as an SLP in the public schools here since that time. My husband retired in June of 2022 and we spent the summer traveling in Alaska, Canada and Europe. Once we returned to Colorado in October I started to look for employment opportunities and was happy to take the Euclid speech position.
I look forward to working with the students and their families along with the Falcon faculty and staff!

Michelle Menzor
Subject: Resource Teacher
Education: B.A. in Elementary Education from Biola University. M.A.T in Special Education from the Metropolitan State University.
Bio: I was born and raised in Colorado. I enjoy hiking, camping, and anything outdoors. I moved to California for my undergraduate years of college to study Elementary Education with an emphasis in Spanish. After college, I taught 5th grade at an International school in Guatemala as well as volunteered at an orphanage for a few months. Because of that experience, I developed a passion for working with students who have special needs. When I moved back to Colorado, I started my Master’s degree in Teaching that focused on Special Education from MSU. During my graduate program, I got my job at Euclid. I love working with the students and staff here at Euclid.
Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have questions, comments, or concerns. I look forward to an exciting year at Euclid!
