If a parent believes that their child may have a disability, they should write to the principal of their child's school.  There are procedures in the district by which teams of teachers and parents can meet to discuss any concerns and proceed to evaluation steps if necessary.  Any formal evaluations proposed by the district require parental consent.  If a child is found to be disabled and in need of special education services, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) will be developed with parental participation.  In compliance with the requirements of the Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Pennsylvania State Special Education Regulations, parents are ensured of confidentiality of all appropriate student and family information.

Students who have a disabiliity and do not qualify for special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) may need accommodations under the ADA Amendment Act of 2008 (ADAAA).  These students will be evaluated to determine what accommodations may be needed to allow them access to any school-related activity.  Interested parent(s) should write a letter to the principal of their child's school.
