The Pennridge School District conducts ongoing Child-Find activities for the purpose of identifying students who may be in need of special education and related services. Additionally, teachers who suspect a child may need services can make a referral to the Child Study Team (CST) to explore regular education supports and classroom modifications. Multi-disciplinary evaluations (MDE) follow for students not making sufficient progress with CST supports.
For further information on the screening, evaluation procedures, and provision of services to exceptional students, parents can contact one of the Special Education Supervisors:
