Notice to Parents of Students in Private or Parochial Schools 
 

      The Arundel School Department seeks to ensure that all students within its jurisdiction are identified, located and evaluated who are school age (5 through the school year in which they turn 20) and who are in need of special education and supportive services.  Those students may include state wards, state agency clients, students who have been suspended or expelled, students attending private schools within the Town of Arundel, students in home schooling programs, institutional residents, highly mobile students with disabilities, and students with disabilities, and students who are suspected of being disabled and in need of special education and supportive services even though they are advancing from grade to grade.  Identification of students with disabilities and programming for such students occurs after an appropriate evaluation and a determination of eligibility is conducted by the Pupil Evaluation Team (PET). 

      Parents, relatives, physicians, private school educators and other persons who are aware of a child who may require special education and supportive services are asked to contact the Director of Special Services, Arundel School Department, 600 Limerick Road, Arundel, ME  04046 (284-4677) or your child’s school principal for further information.
