Welcome to the Northview Public Schools Special Services Home page. It is our hope that users of this web site will find the links listed on this page to be a useful starting point and resource for learning more about both special education in general, and the various services available in Northview specifically. These web pages are intended to provide an overview of the district's special education referral and evaluation process, the types of disabilities for which eligibility categories exist, and the different support services and educational programs offered.
For those interested, please note that the Northview Public Schools has recently adopted new procedures for the determination of a specific learning disability, based on new federal and state eligibility requirements. Those procedures can be found on the "Special Education Eligibilities" page, which can be accessed using the link on your left.
As part of the Kent Intermediate School District (KISD), Northview Special Services provides a full range of educational services for all of our students. Although these accompanying web pages explain some general procedures and guidelines, please keep in mind that educational decisions are still based on individual student needs. The Northview Public Schools Special Services staff is committed to providing quality programs for students with disabilities in preparing them for life's next step. We hope you find this resource helpful.
On behalf of the entire Special Services staff,
|
Daniel Heitzman Director of Special Services
