My child has been receiving interventions, but is struggling...now what?
If your child is not making effective progress through the general education curriculum, despite receiving interventions, they may be referred for a special education evaluation. Upon receipt of the parent/guardian’s consent, an evaluation will be completed within 30 school days, and you will be invited to come to a Team meeting to discuss the evaluation results, determine eligibility for special education services and discuss any next steps that should be taken. Parents/Guardians are an important and very valuable part of each Team! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
Components of a special education evaluation may include:
Educational assessment
Academic assessment
Observation of the child

Your Team may consist of the following people:
