Evergreen Public Schools conducts specific activities for the purposes of locating, evaluating and identifying students ages birth to twenty-one (21) with suspected disabilities and who reside within the district’s boundaries. This includes students attending private schools within the Evergreen Public Schools attendance area. If your family is living in an unhoused or temporary situation, you may contact the district where you are currently staying for a screening. 

Free Developmental Screenings are available for children ages birth through five.

Children are screened in the areas of motor, concepts, speech and language by professionals. A hearing and vision screening may also be done. Developmental screening can identify children who are in need of further evaluation and/or participation in early intervention or early childhood services that address their areas of need.

For children ages birth through two years of age, please call Educational Services District 112 at 360-750-7500.

For children ages 3-5 years, please call Special Services at 360-604-6700

Special education in Evergreen Public Schools is not a “place:” rather, it is a set of services provided for students with disabilities. Evergreen Public Schools collaborates with families to serve the individual needs of children. The Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is the federal legislation that helps guide school teams and families in the qualification of students and the development of Individualized Education Programs (IEP).  Evergreen Public Schools provides a Continuum of Services to meet the needs of our diverse student population.

Legal Assistance List for Special Education Due Process Disputes: The Office of Administrative Hearings maintains a list of attorneys, and agencies who have requested that they be included as a resource for parents. The list includes: 1) free or low cost legal service providers; 2) public (not for profit) organizations that assist parents but are not legal service providers; and, 3) attorneys who have experience and/or interest in special education law. This is the most recent list and is available for districts to provide parents upon request. It is also maintained on OSPI's website (Link).
