Student Services

We are a proud member district of Northwest Suburban Special Education Organization.  Their mission is to propel students with special needs to be actively engaged citizens through dynamic family, school, and community partnerships. Every year we partner with NSSEO to survey parents with students receiving special education services in our district. This survey provides valuable feedback on programs, support systems, and communication. In addition to helping us improve our programs, it also helps NSSEO tailor family-based supports. We will reach out when the next school year's survey becomes live

Illinois State Board of Education Parent Guide for Special Education

Special education laws and procedures are complicated and can be difficult to understand. This guide will clarify some of the procedures of special education; however, it is not a complete explanation of all the special education laws. The guide does contain information about many of the most common topics related to the broad special education landscape, from identification and evaluation to transition planning and complaint procedures.
