A parent may submit a written request for a Child Study Team evaluation for their child. The email or letter should include the student’s name, age, name of attending school, and a brief description of the student’s academic difficulty. The parent should also include a phone number at which he/she can be reached. This letter should be forwarded to:
Mrs. Jillian Cawley, Director of Special Services
jcawley@sbpsnj.org
Board of Education
35 Mayhill St.
Saddle Brook, NJ 07663
When a student is referred for an evaluation for special education services, the Child Study Team will convene a meeting within 20 calendar days (excluding school holidays, but not summer vacation). At this meeting, specific student information will be reviewed and a decision will be made whether or not an evaluation is warranted.
Once the referral is received by the Child Study Team, the following information will be obtained by the student’s assigned case manager:
Written documentation of the implementation and effectiveness of interventions in general education (I&RS, Reading Reinforcement, Basic Skills, ESL…)
Report cards (previous year, if applicable, and current year)
Standardized test scores
Audiometric and vision screening information
A review and summary by the school nurse of available health and medication information
Basic student information (date of birth, grade, teacher, parent names, address, phone numbers…)
