Special Education Services
The Portola Valley School District
provides a continuum of services for its students. This begins with a high
quality instructional program provided in general education classrooms, and
supplemental services available at each school site. In addition, individualized
accommodations and learning plans may also be recommended by the Student Study
Teams at each school. For those students who demonstrate needs beyond
these services, a referral for evaluation through the special education process may be recommended.
We hope these pages provide needed information to you
regarding this process, resources for understanding and addressing learning
challenges and a venue to facilitate communication. We welcome your
comments, and look forward to working together in the learning journey for all
of our students.
