If your child is in need of Special Education services, you may make a request/referral to the School Based Support Team (SBST).
The request/ referral is a written statement asking that the school evaluate your child to determine if they need special education services. This written statement should be addressed to the School Psychologist of the school, Nicole Celi.
You may submit your written request in person or via email to Ms. Celi at [email protected] as well as to your child’s guidance counselor.
The request/ referral may result in a request to have your child tested to see if he or she needs special education services. The enclosed notice gives you more specific details about your child’s rights. If you have any questions about such services, ask your child’s guidance counselor.
Request for a 504 Accommodation Plan
Your child may be able to receive health services and/or medical accommodations in school and DOE programs/activities under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. These services help a student with health needs to participate in school on an equal basis as their peers who do not have disabilities. For example, students with a medical condition may be given medicine at school according to their health care provider’s instructions, or students who have trouble seeing or hearing may be seated close to the blackboard.
The Office of School Health reviews medical accommodation requests each schoolyear to confirm whether your child needs services and/or accommodations in school, and to let the school know about any changes to ensure your child’s needs are met. The enclosed notice gives you more specific details about your child’s rights.
If you have any questions about such services, ask your child’s guidance counselor.
