There is a regular education teacher, as well as a special education teacher in the classroom. There are also two or three instructional assistants. Occupational, physical, and speech therapy is also available. Typically developing children are selected via a lottery based system. Children with disabilities are referred to the Child Study Team, and evaluated by the team.
Eligibility is determined based on the evaluation results.
If you or your doctor have concerns about your child's development, contact your local Child Study Team to request a learning evaluation. Children need a backpack and a folder. The folder will be used for school notes and children's papers. Please check this on a daily basis. Parents are invited to send in class snacks, provided there are enough for everyone in the class.
