Pupil Appraisal Team
The purpose of pupil appraisal services is to assist students who have academic, behavioral, and/or communication challenges, adjustment difficulties, or other special needs which are adversely impacting the student’s educational performance by providing services to students, parents, teachers, and other school personnel. Major functions of pupil appraisal personnel should include being child/student advocates and assisting students to remain in and profit from the general education curriculum whenever possible. The Pupil Appraisal Department provides such related services as: school psychological services, school social worker services, counseling services, language, voice, articulation and fluency services, educational support services, behavioral support services, etc. The Pupil Appraisal Department also screens and evaluates preschool children to determine if they exhibit an exceptionality. We staff a Preschool Gifted Clinic, two Preschool Disabled Clinic, and a Child/Parent Resource Center-which assists parents with enhancing skills to work with their preschool aged children. There are 15 different exceptionality categories for which evaluations are completed by the Pupil Appraisal Department: Autism Spectrum Disorder; Deaf-Blindness; Developmental Delay; Emotional Disturbance; Gifted; Hard of Hearing or Deaf; Intellectual Disability; Multiple Disabilities; Orthopedic Impairment; Other Health Impairment; Specific Learning Disability; Speech or Language Impairment; Talented; Traumatic Brain Injury; and Visual Impairment. All requests for evaluations of regular education students must come from the School Building Level Committee (SBLC), with the parent/guardian as an invited participant.
