Crossroads School admissions process:

Tour:  Any individual interested in a tour should contact Crossroads School.   A meeting will be arranged with Crossroads administration where a brief overview of the school services and a tour of the facility will be given.

Referral: Once a referral from a student's school district is obtained, parents and/or the school district meet with the Program Director for an initial assessment meeting. During this meeting, the Program Director reviews the student's file and explains to the parent and/or school district various components of Crossroads School in specific relation to that child. If the Program Director, school district and parent deem Crossroads School a potential placement, an intake is scheduled.

Intake Screening/Determination: During the intake, the Clinical and Education Directors will assess and observe the student in a potential classroom while the parents meet with the Program Director. The purpose of this meeting is for the Program Director to provide information to the parents regarding Crossroad's policies and procedures, communication systems, parent involvement and to answer parental questions. 

After placement has been determined, Crossroad School works to create a comprehensive Student Profile that determines the initial educational program for the student. This student profile is created through the parent interview, observations by the Education and Clinical Directors, along with previous assessments and reports. A transition plan is then developed by both the Program Director and the parent based on the student's individual needs.

Crossroads performs formal and informal assessments and begins to develop a positive and trusting relationship with the student. After approximately 6-8 weeks, Crossroads, parents and the school district develop a new IEP.
