Parent & Student Information





  Monona Grove School District provides services for students with special needs and disabilities in the following areas: emotional disturbance, learning disability, speech or language disorder, cognitive disability, visual impairment, hearing impairment, orthopedic impairment, other health impairment, autism, and traumatic brain injury.

If you have concerns about a child's development, contact the school principal and ask to have the student screened for possible special education needs. If this student does not attend a district school but is a resident of the school district, please contact the Director of Student Services at Monona Grove School District at 608-221-7660.

Special Education Screening and Referral Procedures

Any person aware of a child between the ages of birth through 21 who may be experiencing physical, mental, emotional or learning problems may contact the Director of Student Services to initiate screening services that will determine if a referral for special education is appropriate. In addition, any teacher or administrator would be able to assist in making a referral. Screening includes: children who are new to the District, students currently enrolled, resident students attending a private school, and children below school age.

The school district solicits and receives referrals of students with suspected special education needs from all persons who have reasonable cause to believe that such needs exist. Specific state criteria will be adhered to in determining eligibility for specific disabilities. Referrals of suspected children with disabilities should be referred to the appropriate building principal, or the Director of Student Services.
