Application for Regular Education Children

 

SCHOOL YEAR PROGRAM

 

The Special Education Department is accepting applications from parents who wish to have their child considered for the regular education component of the Integrated Pre-School Program.  Regular education children must be without any special education needs and will be in a class of no more than 15 children, up to eight of which may be regular education students while up to seven may receive special education services.  The program runs for the regular school year, and children will come two mornings from 9:00 to 11:30 A.M., or two afternoons from 12:30 to 3:00 P.M., on Mondays and Tuesdays, or Thursdays and Fridays.   All classes will be held at the Millville Elementary School.  To be eligible, a child must be toilet trained, have turned 3 by August 15, 2008 and be a resident of Blackstone or Millville.

 

On Tuesday, January 22, 2008, and Thursday, January 24, 2008, parents may visit the current preschool classes at Millville Elementary School between the hours of 9:30-10:30 a.m. to observe the program. 

 

If there are more applicants than openings, a lottery system will be used to select regular education students.  Children selected for the program are not guaranteed placement for subsequent school years and must re-apply and be entered into the lottery again in each year of eligibility. 

 

Tuition:  Tuition is $100.00 per month.  If tuition poses a financial hardship, families may apply for tuition assistance at the Special Education office.  Details for payment will be sent with the letter of acceptance if your child is selected into the program.

 

Transportation:  Transportation is provided for students with disabilities, but parents of regular education students are responsible for transporting their children to and from school.
