How to Enroll a Student at CCCBSD

Enrolling a student at CCCBSD is a thoughtful process designed to ensure the most beneficial and appropriate placement for each child. Here’s what families and school districts can expect:

 

  1. Referral Packet Review
    The process begins when we receive the student’s referral packet via the referral email address (referrals@cccbsd.org) from the sending school district. This packet includes the student’s IEP and other important reports that help us understand the student’s needs and strengths.
  2. Internal Team Review
    Our team of educators and specialists carefully reviews the packet. We discuss how our supports might benefit the student and whether CCCBSD is an appropriate placement.

  1. School-Based Observation
    If the observation suggests the student may benefit from a placement at CCCBSD, the director will arrange for two CCCBSD professionals to observe the student in their current school. This helps us see how the student learns and interacts in their educational environment and ensures the placement would be appropriate for both the student and the school.
  2. Family and District Tour
    If it appears the student could benefit from a CCCBSD placement and the placement is appropriate for our school environment; we invite the family and school district representatives to tour CCCBSD. This is a great opportunity to see our school in action and ask any questions.
  3. Student Visit to CCCBSD
    Next, if the family feels positive about our school, we invite them to bring the student for a visit. This visit provides an opportunity to experience our school first-hand and allows our team to engage with the student and learn more about them from the family.
  4. Final Review and Placement Decision
    After the student visit, our educators and specialists meet to make a final decision. Once a decision is made, the director will notify the district about the student’s acceptance or next steps.
  5. Enrollment
    If the decision is made for the student to enroll at CCCBSD, the parent will receive a full enrollment packet. This packet includes student-specific information as well as all forms required by DESE for medical documentation. Once the medical information is submitted, there may be an interactive discussion with our nursing staff to ensure we fully understand the student’s health needs and can support their safety at school. Depending on the student’s medical needs, additional documentation may be required. In some cases, an emergency action plan will be developed in collaboration with your child’s medical provider to ensure appropriate care and preparedness. In some situations, this process can take up to four weeks.
  1. Start date
    Once everything is in place, we’ll work together to finalize a start date for the student to begin their educational experience at CCCBSD.

We look forward to working with you through this process. 

If you are in this process, please contact us via the Referral Inquiries email, referrals@cccbsd.org.
