A Message To Parents

Parents, family members, and school personnel are critical partners in the education of children. This website is designed to provide parents information in order for them to play an important role in making decisions about their child’s academic success. Research has proven that family involvement results in higher student achievement.

Student Assistance Team
SAT Process

If you feel your child is experiencing academic difficulties, boredom, social issues, behavior problems, or other concerns; you should contact the child’s teacher for a conference. During this conference, ideas and strategies to help your child will be discussed. Your child may be referred to the SAT Team where interventions to target the specific behavior will be developed for use at school and at home.
During the intervention period, observations and information will be collected to review the success of these interventions during follow-up conferences. Support services such as after-school programs, remedial reading or math classes, counseling, psychological support, or other community services may also be used.
If the team decides that further information is needed, a referral for a multidisciplinary evaluation may be necessary.  Specific tests, observations and other activities will be used to collect information which will help in determining whether your child needs special education services.  You and other members of the Eligibility Committee will meet to review all the information.
If your child is not eligible for special education services, more intervention and strategies will be discussed for future use. If your child is eligible for special education services, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) will be written. The IEP is designed to provide specific education services for your child’s area of exceptionality.
