Child Find Notice

“The school district must locate, identify and evaluate all resident children with disabilities, including children with disabilities attending private schools, regardless of the severity of their disabilities.” The school district has a special education program to locate and screen all children with suspected disabilities who are residents of the district and who have not graduated from high school. Upon request the school district will screen any resident child who has not graduated high school to determine whether a special education referral is appropriate. A request may be made by contacting Kimberli Peerenboom, Director of Pupil Services for the School District of Janesville at 743-5061,
or by writing her at 527 S. Franklin St., Janesville WI 53548.

Annually the district conducts developmental screening of preschool children. Each child’s motor, communication and social skills are observed at various play areas. Each child is weighed and measured, and the child’s hearing and vision is checked. The information is used to provide the parent with a profile of their child’s current development and to provide suggestions for follow up activities. Parents learn about community services available to them and speak with  representatives of agencies serving families. The information from screening is also used to determine whether a child should
be evaluated for a suspected disability. When school staff reasonably believe a child is a child with a disability, they refer the child for evaluation by a school district Individualized Education Program (IEP) team. Developmental screening will be a part of the kindergarten screening this Spring. Watch for dates at your local school. 

A physician, nurse, psychologist, social worker or administrator of a social agency
who reasonably believes a child brought to him or her for services is a child with a disability has a legal duty to report the child to the school district in which the child resides. Before referring the child, the person making the referral must inform the child’s parents that the referral will be made. The referral must be in writing and include the reason why the person believes the child is a child with a disability. Others who reasonably believe a child is a child with a disability may also refer the child to the school district in which the child resides. A referral of a child residing in the School District of Janesville may be sent to Kimberli Peerenboom at the school district address above.”

Pink Out Day!

 This year starts our 9^th Annual Cardinal for the Cure Fundraiser. Over the last 8 years we have raised over $12,000.00 that we have donated to the UW Carbone Cancer Center. Some of our Special Education Students have made bracelets, magnets, coasters, necklaces, heating/cooling packs, and many other items; which are for sale during lunches during the month of October. Each year Marshall has a school wide PINK OUT DAY, the date this year is October 11, 2019. Staff and students create a symbol of awareness on the field for a photo. The Special Education staff and students hand deliver a check to the Carbone Cancer Center at the end of October. Our goal is to raise $1,000.00 this year. We look forward to working together to support a cause that has touched so many lives.
