WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR SERVICES?

Special education services are provided to students with disabilities in grades Kindergarten through age 21. Special education and general education staff work together to provided needed services for eligible students and ensure that services are aligned with federal and state requirements. Our multi-tiered system of academic and behavioral services is dependent on a strong, collaborative relationship between general and special education staff.

WHAT SERVICES MIGHT STUDENTS RECEIVE?

Centennial provides a full continuum of special education and related services. All services are developed by a student team and outlined in a student's Individual Education Plan (IEP). Our special education program is coordinated with other services such as English Language Learners (ELL) and Title IA programs.

WHERE DO STUDENTS RECEIVE THEIR SERVICES & SUPPORTS?

Most students are educated in their neighborhood school. A small number of students are served in specialized programs, both within and outside of the district.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY CHILD?

If parents are concerned about their child's academic and/or behavioral progress, they should first contact their child's teacher. Every effort is made to assess all students for level of need and to provide appropriate instruction and intervention based on that identified need. Some students who do not respond to initial instruction over time may need additional interventions. If at any time the school or parent has reason to suspect a disability, a referral for a special education evaluation may be initiated.
