Procedure for enrolling your child in the ECSE program

To enroll your child in the Early Childhood Special Education program you need to contact the school at 573-458-0190.  The Early Childhood Special Education program is housed at Wyman Elementary, 402 Lanning Lane and serves all of the students in the Rolla school district.

If your child has already been receiving services through another district, you may bring in their current diagnostic report and IEP.  If you do not have copies of the diagnostic report or IEP, you may sign a release of information through our district and records can be obtained.

If your child has been in First Steps then a transition meeting will be held 6 months prior to your child's third birthday between the school district, First Step representative and yourself.  Prior to your child turning 3, the school district will contact you to schedule appointments to determine your child's current abilities and qualifications for services offered through the ECSE program. 

Unsure if you child needs special education services?  To determine if your child meets the eligibility criteria for services offered through the ECSE program, we request that you contact the school.  You will then be instructed to either call Parents As Teachers  458-0100 to have your child screened at one of their monthly screenings or an appointment will be made with the ECSE teacher & speech therapists to start the evaluation process. 

 Children may enroll at any time during the year.
