Pre-Referral Process

In addition to reviewing the steps listed below, please review the 3 documents on the right.

1. List of all in-class interventions attempted prior to referral.

Note: Student Support Services and the Special Education Lead Teacher will provide support. In-class interventions for general education students are the responsibility of general education teachers.

2. Contact parent to discuss student difficulties and proposed interventions.

• Use the Parent Communication Log (found under the Teacher Info/Forms tab of the curriculum website) to document communication.

3. Attendance record of student; student start date in your class to the present.

4. Contact Dr. Williams at jawilliams@dohnschool.org.

*Please remember, poor attendance is not a basis for referral.

If a parent requests an evaluation for special education and or related services, you must:

• Pick up a consent form from the Student Support Services office.
• Provide documentation of all contact with parents, including dates, times and the method of request (i.e., in writing, phone call or in person).
• Provide parent contact information.
