Special Education & Student Services
Dear Families & Advocates,
Welcome to the Office of Special Education & Student Services of the Somerset Public Schools.
The referral of your child to the Office of Special Education & Student Services may be a new and unsettling experience. We hope that you will find any member of our department ready to openly listen and communicate, provide you with information, and answer any questions that you may have about the process.
Quality programming for students with disabilities requires continuous planning, support, and participation of the home and school. We look forward to working with you as a member of the Team to provide a happy and successful school experience for your child.
The information available on this website was prepared to provide you with information on a variety of topics that may be of interest, as well as opportunities to seek further information which can be customized to your needs. We hope you find it helpful as we work cooperatively as a team to provide quality education for children with disabilities in Somerset.
We welcome your input, comments, and questions, and thank you in advance for your support.
