Welcome to Community Transitions web page Community Transitions is
a special education program within the Bellingham School District that helps
prepare young adults up through the year in which they turn 21years of age for a new beginning. As students leave high
school, they often encounter a set of adult challenges requiring new
responses. This is an additional
program for students and families to help with a successful transition to
independent living and community work settings. The staff, parents, and
adult students work as a team to create and nurture partnerships with adult
services, college staff, and businesses in the local community to identify
the best place to maximize each individual student's potential for success Class
