concern registered regarding the existence of a possible disabling condition. Teachers should gather information from the following sources: work samples, the child’s cumulative record, testing scores, parents, and other staff who work with the child. This information should be shared with the Student Services Team and the special education teacher who will guide the teacher through the steps to the referral. Completed referral forms may be submitted to the principal by teachers, the Student Services Team, or other staff members who are knowledgeable of the child’s learning difficulties. Parents/guardians may submit a referral by writing a letter to the principal stating their concerns and requesting psychological, educational, or other testing such as speech/language or occupational therapy assessments. The principal will review the referral and become familiar with the specifics of the case. A meeting of the School IEP Team will be convened with the following persons attending: a building administrator, the special education teacher, the child’s classroom teacher, and others deemed appropriate by the IEP Team. The IEP Team will make the final decision regarding disposition of the referral. STUDENT WORK FOLDERS Each student will bring home their assignments, notes written by their teachers, and other important information to keep each parent/guardian informed. We ask that each parent/guardian keep all graded papers but return any signed forms or needed notes. CONFERENCES Conferences may be requested by the teacher or by the parent/guardian at any time during the school year. If a parent/guardian wants to meet with the child’s teacher, he/she must contact the school office or the teacher to arrange for an appointment. The teacher will either confirm the time requested or reschedule an appointment at a mutually agreeable time. Please do not use school gatherings as times to conduct conferences. Teachers and parents/guardians can share information and discuss ideas more effectively in a more private setting. If a parent/guardian requests a conference he/she should hear from the teacher within two days. Please call the school administration immediately if no response is received. Parents/guardians should expect teachers to contact them when a student’s performance reflects a failing grade, no homework, poor test scores, etc. STUDENT INSURANCE At the beginning of each school year, parents/guardians may purchase an accident insurance policy from a reputable commercial firm. Two options of coverage are available and include the following: school related accidents and 24-hour coverage. In the event of an accident at school, students would be covered by either policy. STUDENT CAR RIDER ARRIVAL PROCEDURES Student drop-off at the beginning of the day: Enter the parking lot, loop around the back of the building, keep right and pull as far forward as you are safely able
