The Walpole Public Schools looks to locate and identify any child who may be in need of special education services.

Children between the ages of 3 and 22 (unless a high school diploma has been awarded) may be eligible for such assistance.  Upon completion of a thorough evaluation a child will be found eligible for special education if:

1. The child has a documented disability

2. AND the child is not making effective progress in the regular education program

3.  AND the child requires specialized instruction to make educational progress.

Walpole resident students enrolled in private schools or who have left school without a diploma may be eligible. For additional information please call the Student Services Office at 508-660-7200 x5267

For concerns regarding young children (ages 3 through age 5) screening appointments may be made by calling 508-660-7374 Ext. 5681
