Before admission, the associate superintendent, the field supervisor, and the teacher review the students current Individual Educational Program (I.E.P.).  If the program can accommodate a students special needs, a screening will be arranged.  During screenings we view the students basic readiness and practical academic development.  We also observe the students socialization, interaction, communication, self-care and thinking process.  Based on the screening process and teacher observation we determine how we would supplement and improve good I.E.P. goals and objectives.

Admissions Procedure
1. The parent or guardian contacts the Special Education Program Satellite Office.
2. The most current IEP is sent to the Office.
3. If classification is appropriate, and there are no obvious problems, the IEP is forwarded to the appropriate teacher for evaluation.
4. Teacher will arrange a screening session with parents.  There is a $35 screening fee that is the responsibility of the parent.
5. The student will also be evaluated by the speech teacher, if possible.  This will be done during the initial screening.
6. If a student is accepted, the parent must come into the Special Education Office to fill out the required forms.  Parents must bring immunization records and two separate checks: payment for the $20 PROSPER dues and the $50 registration fee.
