English Language Learners (EL)

On the district enrollment form, parents should indicate whether English is a second language for their son or daughter. If so, a Home Language Survey will need to be completed by the parents. This completed document should be turned in at the school office for staff to review in order to determine appropriate placement. 

For additional information regarding programming support for students who are English Language Learners, please visit our district EL section or contact Aileen Swan  or Lauren Arango.


 

Special Education

The District provides excellent special education services in the following areas: emotional behavioral disabilities, learning disability, speech or language disorder, cognitive disability, visual impairment, hearing impairment, orthopedic impairment, other health impairment, autism, and traumatic brain injury. If you have concerns about a child’s development, contact the school administrator and ask to have the student screened for possible special education services. If this student does not attend a district school, but is a resident of the school district, please contact the Director of Integrated Student Services at 838-4514 and ask about having the student screened.
 
Special Education Screening and Referral Procedures
Any person aware of a child between the ages of birth through 21 who may be experiencing physical, mental, emotional or learning problems may contact the Director of Integrated Student Services or building administrator to initiate screening services that will determine if a referral for special education is appropriate. In addition, any teacher or administrator would be able to assist in making a referral. Screening includes: children new to the District, students currently enrolled, resident students attending a private school, and children below school age.
