Dear Parent:
Per state regulations, 603 CMR 28.03(1)(d), the Grafton Pubic School District conducts screening for three and four year olds. Such screening is designed to review a child’s development and to assist in the identification of those children who should be referred for an evaluation to determine eligibility for special education services. Participation in the screening process for three and four year olds is optional on the part of the parent.
Throughout the school year, preschool staff is available to screen your child if you have concerns. This free screening procedure may include an interview with you concerning your child’s development, assessments of your child’s level of developmental and speech/language functioning, and a hearing and/or vision test. Soon after the screening, we will contact you to discuss the results and determine if further evaluation is needed. Please note that if your child is currently receiving services through Grafton Public Schools, screening will not be necessary.
If you feel that your child is in need of preschool screening and may require special education services, please complete and return the bottom portion of this letter by mail. Should you have any questions, feel free to call me at Grafton’s Special Education Office at (508) 839-5421.
Sincerely,
Arnold Lundwall
Administrator of Special Education
