If you suspect your child may have learning disability, I recommend contacting your child's building principal. In response to your concerns, your building principal will hold a Response to Intervention Team meeting to determine if additional services are available in the general education program prior to Special Education testing. Response to Intervention Teams are made up of school administration, faculty and staff.
Please also feel free to contact the school psychologist or guidance counselor assigned to your child's building to discuss your concerns.
Staff assignments are as follows:
School Psychologists:
- Elm Drive & Early Intervention Services: Tonya Pulver
- Alden Place, Cardinal Hayes School & Millbrook High School: Dr. Elizabeth Delessio
- Millbrook Middle School: Jennifer Obrizok
- Millbrook High School: Mark Hlavaty
Guidance Counselors:
- Millbrook Middle School: Denise Haines
- Millbrook High School: Helen Grady- A to K & Lisa Petta- L to Z
Please free to also contact our SPED Coordinator K-12, Carolyn Hotaling (carolyn.hotaling@millbrookcsd.org, 677-2510 ext 7517). Carolyn works with our SPED faculty to maximize instruction, solve problems, analyze our services and develop new methods to best serve our students.
It is your right to have your child tested for a disability at any point according to IDEA regulations---please contact the Pupil Personnel Department to exercise this right at any time.
Please know I am available to you at any time to discuss your child's progress in any of our educational programs. I look forward to working with you throughout the school year.
