Acceptance into Village School is done in conjunction with the district PPT process by the student’s home district. We accept students based on district referral from the PPT team. Referrals are initially sent to the Director of ACES Pupil Services who forwards them to the appropriate program. After receiving a referral, programs will review the records and, if appropriate, schedule an intake tour and assessment. Following this assessment, the Village School educational team will meet to determine if the student’s needs can be met within our program.
How to Make a Referral
When making a referral to ACES, we will need the following information in the referral packet:
- Copy of most current IEP
- Current contact information for Parent/Guardian
- Most recent evaluations (e.g. achievement, psychological, psychiatric, FBA, etc.)
- Most recent physical examination form
- Immunization Information/State of Connecticut Department of Education Health Assessment Record
Note: Front page of the Cumulative Health Record if the Education Health Assessment Record is not submitted - Agency contacts information when applicable (e.g. Probation officer, DCF Worker, DDS Worker)
- Referrals are mailed to:
