Special Services Office
The Department of Special Services provides special education and/or related services to students found eligible to receive those services. Specialized education and/or related services are designed to provide learning in the “least restrictive environment” and include a variety of placements. Parents, teachers, administration, guidance counselors, nurses, and I&RS teams may refer a child to the Department of Special Services. Parents must send a request letter with concern/s to Director of Special Services. Students who are found eligible to receive services go through a referral and evaluation process. If eligible, specialized education, and/or related services and placements are available to students to meet their individual needs. See Special Education process pdf below.
In the event of a crisis situation where your child might be considered unsafe, please contact the Roselle Park Police, 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
