PUBLIC SCHOOL REFERRALS – REQUESTS FOR SPECIAL SERVICES

The Principal, school counselor, and teacher will determine if a child should be tested by the Public Schools. The Principal is the liaison between Epiphany School and the Public Schools. He/she will forward the forms and, with the Case Manager of the Public School make all subsequent arrangements for teacher attendance at staffings, any observations, testing, interview etc. done by the Public School Special Services Staff.

If a parent feels their child is in need of testing or special services from the public school, he/she should first meet with the teacher, school counselor and the Principal. If the teacher, school counselor and Principal agree with the parent, the teacher will get the needed forms from the Principal and begin the process. If the teacher, school counselor and Principal do not agree that the child needs testing or special services, the parent may initiate a request for special services by going to the public school. They will give the parent the forms, which the parent will forward to the teacher and the procedure described in the previous paragraph will be followed.
