Parent Resources

Does your child need more support?

Your first step should be to send a formal request to Rachel DePaul, Director of Pupil Personnel Services. This is essential to start the formal process to review your child's needs. Any request to any other person may be helpful, but does not protect your rights in the same way. You can send your request via email to Rachel.DePaul@chufsd.org.
