Special Education Parent Involvement Survey

Survey Updated 5-18-2023

Special Education Services

NCPS offers a continuum of services for students with disabilities ages 2-21 who meet eligibility criteria under IDEA.

NCPS also utilizes the Virginia Tiered Systems of Supports to routinely screen and monitor student progress for all students. When there are concerns, school-based student teams (SBT) can meet to review available data for individual students who are experiencing problems adversely impacting their educational performance. Students suspected of having a disability are then referred for further evaluation.

To request a school based team meeting please contact the SBT Chairperson at your child's school. If your child in not yet school age (Ages 2-5) please use the link below to start the Child Find process:
