Special Education
The Owen J. Roberts School District is committed to providing appropriate services to all children of school age with special needs. Appropriate individual programs are provided in the least restrictive environment. Each of our schools has highly qualified Pennsylvania-certified special education teachers to meet the various needs of students with disabilities.
Paraprofessionals
Paraprofessionals serve a wide variety of roles in our buildings. They are here to support our students and staff and work under the guidance and supervision of teachers and administration. Please be aware that all communications should be made directly to your child’s teacher.
Mentally Gifted (Academically Talented Program – ATP)
A school district screening/identification procedure of students emphasizes using multiple criteria to determine eligibility for placement in the gifted program. Consequently, the screening process seeks input from multiple sources: teacher recommendation, group ability, achievement test scores, screening for creative talent, and parent/guardian recommendation. Students are referred for psychological examination after meeting specific screening criteria.
