Admissions for The School at Manus Academy
Initial Contact: Meet
with the center director to tour the school, discuss
information about our services and your child’s
needs. If you both determine that our services may
be appropriate for your child, then the director
will give you an admissions packet and schedule
a time for your child to visit our school.
Application: When you
bring your child back for the scheduled school visit,
please give the center director your completed application
with an $85.00 nonrefundable registration and processing
fee.
School Visit: The education
director spends time with your child and has him
or her visit some of our classrooms. After the school
visit, the education director will tell you if our
school can offer a placement for your child. If
we can, then proceed to the next step.
Student Records:
A. Immunization record – Provide a copy from
your child’s physician.
B. A signed “Permission to Share Information”
form (e.g. to speak with child’s pediatrician,
counselor, speech and language therapist or other
professional who sees your child)
C. Teacher, Principal or Counselor Review
D. School records – Includes school testing,
current report card, educational plans, transcripts
(for high school students) and any other information
that would be helpful for us to know.
E. Signed student and parent agreements to follow
school rules and policies
Psychological and Educational
Testing:
A. Psychological evaluation – Send us a psychological
or psycho-educational report written by a licensed
psychologist within the last three years. If you
do not have an up-to-date report, please arrange
to have one administered. (If you wish, you may
arrange to have the education director attend the
psychologist’s interpretive conference with
you so that we may better coordinate our goals with
the evaluation results.) Please send us a copy of
the report rather than the original, as we do not
return this information.
B. Educational evaluation – Send us an educational
report that has been administered within the last
six months. If you do not have a current report,
our education director will evaluate your child.
Our evaluation takes approximately two hours and
is billed at $90.00 per hour.
C. Placement testing – Placement testing is
an informal evaluation that allows us to determine
specific starting points of instruction in each
skill or subject. If our education director has
administered the educational evaluation, placement
testing is unnecessary. If you give us an educational
report administered elsewhere, we will schedule
a placement assessment and use those results with
the educational report to develop an effective instructional
program. Placement testing takes approximately one
hour and is billed at $90.00 per hour.
D. Other testing – For Manus Academy to develop a comprehensive
treatment program, we sometimes need other information
about your child. If so, the education director
will refer you to another practitioner, such as
a speech and language therapist, occupational therapist,
psychiatrist or neurologist. We will inform this
practitioner about specific information needed for
Manus Academy .
Interpretive Conference and
Enrollment Procedures: The education director
reviews all test results and interpretations and
the instructional program we prescribe for your
child. He or she gives you a copy of our report.
This conference lasts about one hour and is billed
at $90.00 per hour. At the end of the conference,
the center director meets with you to review the
services, costs, enrollment agreement and starting
date of school.
Admissions for After-School Tutoring
Initial Contact: Meet
with the center director to share information about
our services, your child’s needs and your
goals or desires for your child. If you both determine
that our services may be appropriate, the director
will give you an application packet and schedule
a time to meet with the education director for an
educational evaluation, or if one has been recently
administered, a lighter program evaluation.
Application: Complete
the application and give it to the education director
when you bring your child in for the educational
evaluation. Please include the $60 registration/processing
fee.
Student Records:
A. A signed “Permission to Share Information”
form (e.g. to speak with child’s pediatrician,
counselor, speech and language therapist or other
professional who sees your child)
B. School records – Includes school testing,
psycho-educational reports, current report card,
educational plans and any other information that
would be helpful for us to know.
Educational Testing:
A. Educational evaluation – If your child
has received an educational or psycho-educational
evaluation within the last six months, please send
us a copy. Otherwise, our education director will
evaluate your child. Our evaluation takes between
one and two hours (depending on the extent and detail
of information needed to develop your child’s
instructional program) and is billed at $90.00 per
hour.
B. Other testing – For us to develop a comprehensive
treatment program, we sometimes need other information
about your child. If so, the education director
will refer you to another practitioner, such as
a speech and language therapist, occupational therapist,
psychiatrist or neurologist. We will inform this
other practitioner of the information we need.
Interpretive Conference:
The education director reviews all test results
and interpretations and the instructional program
we prescribe for your child. He or she gives you
a copy of our report. This conference lasts about
1 hour and is billed at $90.00 per hour. The education
director will assign your child a tutor and establish
a starting date.
Parent Agreement: At
the end of the interpretive conference, the center
director meets with you to review the services,
costs, enrollment agreement and starting date of
tutorial services.
School Visit: When
necessary, the education director may advise a school
meeting with the teachers and/or administrators
to participate in developing class accommodations,
interventions, Individual Education Plans or 504
Accommodation Plans. School visits are $105.00 per
visit.
